MY SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday afternoon around 4p.m. I was called by Tara (my daughter) to say that she was going to have a Valentine present delivered to our home around 7 p.m. She also said that she wanted my mother and my sister to be there to receive theirs. So I decided to have dinner since we would have a house full. I couldn't imagine what she was having delivered since I am not a big Valentine Day gift giving person since my children are older. So around 7 p.m. the doorbell rang and there were three bunches of red roses and 3 boxes of chocolate placed on the front door mat. I thought to myself, did she have everyone come here for this??? I know that was rude of me, but I just thought it never really said it! Within seconds of us all standing at the door and saying "oh this is nice", Tyler(who was suppose to be in Iraq) surprised us with his 2 week leave. There was much shouting and some tears going on! Tyler didn't tell anyone until he landed in Houston and called Tara to help arrange it all! You can imagine how surprise we all were. His leave was to be in May for his twin sisters high school graduation but too many people asked for May so he moved it to valentines day! It was a great night had by all. Excuse the pictures, I was not dresses for the occasion, my house was not clean, Annabel in her jammies, etc. The important thing was we were all together....
P. S. Annabel is doing well and has slept well for two nights. Seems to be more comfortable today. Thank you, Jesus!
