Happiness Is...

I wasn't sure what the ticker would say once we reached zero days, but "happiness" describes it perfectly!

Happiness is reading with daddy...


wrestling together....

playing soccer together...




playing at the park...


napping...

making cookies together...

and snuggling all day.

These pictures are SOOOOOO precious. Your family belongs in an advertisement of "how to be a family." Now I have tears in my eyes. Love you, Jean

Oh oh oh. This is it. There's nothing better. Thank you so much for sharing your moments. We would have all understood if we didn't hear from or see you for a week. It brings such happy tears to our eyes. Shan, welcome home. You are a sight for sore eyes.
Happiness.
Love you all so much.
Mimi and Papa

Man it looks good to see you home, Shan! You belong right there with your arms filled with your family. I LOVE seeing you holding the kids! It just looks like healing and love and happiness all rolled into your strong arms. What happy memories for you, and for all of us to see. Thanks for letting us take a peek into your private homecoming. I love you all and will rest easier tonight knowing that you are all safely home together again. And I promise to not wake you up again with a phone call - at least not right away. :)
Love,
Mom
