Praise God from whom all blessings flow! James is here to be in this family photo! Our son, James, was deployed to Afghanistan for 6 months. He was going to miss the birth of his and Isabella's second daughter. On October 20th James surprised Isabella and Amari by arriving home early - about 1 month early! When James arrived home, Isabella was in the beginning stages of labor. At 5am on October 21st Isabella texted me to let me know they were on their way and she was in labor. I thought her mother was with her. However, when James walked in the door ahead of her I stood there in shock for a second and then wrapped my arms around him and cried. We had a great reunion! Isabella labored at our home until around 3pm and then we went to the hospital. Mila Anae made her arrival into this world at 4:58pm, within 24 hours of James arriving at the airport. Mila was born on her due date, and James arrived in time to welcome her. To say that we are blessed by this event God arranged is an understatement! God moved on the hearts of the military men who made this possible, and I am grateful to them for all that they did to get James home in time! I am also grateful to all those who were praying.
