Josh is Home!!!

Iraq 013

Josh was finally reunited with his family July 2 at 1:15 PM!!!! Sophia initially took exception to being handed off to him, but after a refreshing nap she decided he must be alright. I'd almost call it a miracle because she didn't mind being held by him or even playing with him out of sight of Mommy that very same day! Now, just a few days later, she feels almost as at home with her daddy as she does with Mommy. Of course there are some things she still wants her Mommy for, such as feeding and drying off after a bath. Here are a few pictures from this past week:

She had the biggest smile on her face as she watched all the little kids around her bouncing away and had lots of fun trying to imitate them.
