It's good to finally be home. Even after our daily phone calls home, I still missed the kids. It's hard to believe that we left two weeks after Easter and now it's two days before Christmas!!!

"Mommy! Daddy!"

As soon as we heard Angela's calls we knew she saw us. She ran outside as we knelt down.

"I missed you pumpkin." I whispered in her ear. "Now tell me where your sister is." I stood up, letting her say hello to her father. I already knew what happened while we were gone, so I wanted to check up on her.

"Come, follow me but be quiet." She told us, grabbing our hands and pulling Ben to his feet. Ben looked at me.

"Is Justin here?"

"Yup!!"

Ben looked at me again, horrified. I wondered what we were going to see. Angela led us to the back yard, hushing us. She pointed to the lawn chair and whispered, "Look."
