Hard to explain how incredibly happy it makes me to have my brother back in our lives.  Leif and I picked him up and took him outside for the first time in 3.5 years.  He was nervous and anxious as anyone would be and I was so grateful to be able to be there with him.  Thanks to my mom and Ted and Stephanie, who stayed home with the kids, Leif and I were able to get him home and situated.  A month later he was out to Seattle to visit us and he was like a new man.  Calm, smiling, and affectionate with the kiddos.  We are so stoked he is here.
