Wed night was very exciting for all of us. Just after 8 I strapped Gwendolyn into her car seat and started the hour drive to the airport. She spent the first half hour or so happily chanting, "Dad! Airplane!" And finally fell asleep. It was all David could do not to wake her up when he saw her, but he let her sleep all the way home. When we arrived and the car stopped moving, she opened her eyes and saw David. It took a moment or two before she was awake enough to realize what was happening, and then the exclamations began - "Dad! Dad!"
And the next morning? Yet more delight. After snuggling with her Dad for a long time, Gwendolyn discovered Ralph, one of the suitcase full of childhood stuffed animals David brought back for her from Tulsa. No end of good things!

Oh, that's really sweet--how happy Wren is that he's home.
I really love this photo of David and Wren.
