...a homecoming for the holidays. Uncle Josh left for a tour in Afghanistan with the National Guard on January 17, 2008. When he left, Francesca was approaching her first birthday, and I did not yet know I was pregnant with the twins! I am ECSTATIC to report that he has left Afghanistan today to begin his journey back home - to the USA - to his friends and family who missed him so much. It has been an emotional and prayerful time for all of us, and words can't even begin to describe how happy we are that he'll be home soon (approximately 2 weeks - after a demobilization period at Fort Bragg). We will reunite with him at the Armory in Syracuse where he will meet his new niece and nephew for the first time and see how much his Goddaughter has grown. Somehow Christmas seems a bit more magical this year :)
