We told the kids that Daddy would be coming home...sometime in March & that HOPEFULLY, he would be here in time for Spring Break...
It was so fun surprising them!! I told them to get their coats we were going for a drive...it was after 9p.m. & they looked at me like I had 3 heads...but, agreed to get into the car. I told them a friend told me about a really cool spot to go see the Northern lights. So, I pulled over at a gas station just before the turn off to the airport & told them the truth...that I had said a little white lie...here is their reaction, (poor Sam was abruptly awoken!!), followed by anticipation (pawing at the window at the airport!)& lastly hugs all around(they ran up to Daddy & knocked him down)!!! We had a WONDERFUL two weeks filled with lots of family time. We enjoyed a few days at a ski resort & the ceremonial start of the Iditarod, hockey tournament, and hanging out at home. I will work on the rest of the pictures & get back to you!

Glad Paul could come home and have a good time with the children
WISH WE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO SHARE THE JOY.

GRANDMA AND GRANDPA DARLING
The tears are still pouring! I got all choked up when you told the kids. I could just feel Jakob's emotion. Thank you for sharing. It puts everything in perspective...what life is really about...family. I am so happy you got to enjoy your time together!!
If that doesn't show a family full of love, I don't know what does! Beautiful! Cheryl S.
Thank you for the little comment about me :) kanb.The joy was unbearible,as we hadn't seen dad in a while.If i had been at a sleepover,I would NEVER let it go.Perfect timing though!But just a tad earlier,dad would have stayed a while longer,which would be great for us kids.We all miss dad,but around 1 third of the year to go!:).Sad part,we can't skype.I am pretty sure my mom thanks you all,but I'm nice and did it for her.So thanks,and keep a look out for more comments by me in future posts!
i'll keep my eye out for sure
