A Nice Story

I have a little girl in my classroom whose dad will be deployed to Iraq this week.  This is his second tour in 5 years.  This little girl has 2 younger sisters and her mom was pregnant with baby #4.  Dad has been gone since July and was home for 4 days over the weekend until today before he left for Iraq.  Her mom went into labor yesterday without being induced or anything and had the baby while dad was home!   He had to leave today and returns to Mn next July.  They had an 8 lb  baby girl.  Their second daughter was born while dad was in Iraq the first time.  I'm glad that he was able to be there for this birth.  They're a super nice family.
