WOO-HOO!!!! Race is Home!

He is home safe and sound and we are so very thankful.
First it's like this joyous reunion with sqeals and yells and hugs and kisses and lots more hugs. And then we all just kind of sit around and smile really big and stare at him for awhile. (Probably a tad creepy for the recipient, but he doesn't seem to mind, cause he's smiling really big right back at us.) After all the initial marti-grah-like hooplah and then all the smiling and staring are over, we all just sort of fall back in step. It is such a wonderful feeling. We are all so much more relaxed. We all have so much to share about with each other. So much wonderful catching up. And my work-out partner is back! Oh- and we had a second Christmas, too!! It's just all so great!

I'll be back every week to post an update, or some pictures, but for the most part we are going to just wallow around in all this family time.So, I won't be posting as much as usual.
We are excitedly making some big plans together so I'll keep you posted as they develop.
Thanks so much to everyone who keeps us in your thoughts and prayers. We really do feel your prayers for us.
O.K., I'm going to go soak up some Race-time.
Cheers!
Melissa

How exciting and relieving it must be to have him home. You will be missed greatly but I know you must want to just sit and soak him up. Enjoy having your family completely back together.
