It was the scariest thing that we have been through yet!! But we are all home--helping Rick to stay low--this may actually be even harder!!! He knows that there will be some changes but we will enjoy life, each other, our kids and our family and friends!!

Thanks to everyone for the outpouring of support and help. The calls, the food, the help with the girls and the thoughtful remarks and your ears and your hugs!
