Dean, he does know we are coming. He is super excited. Today, he took money to the holiday store at his school to buy us gifts. I am going to cry when I open them. I have not spent a Christmas with Elizabeth for about 12 years, ever since she moved to Florida. And we have never spent a Christmas with Luke. Kelly always has to work on the holidays, the airport is always moving, so with him off from the surgery, we finally can. He had his checkup yesterday and there are still some issues, he has to come back and have a scan, but the doctor said he is okay to travel. We are going to miss Malia's first Christmas but she is only 4 months old and we will do something when we get back.
