Yay!! How exciting!! Is he back for good?
This brought a HUGE smile to my face. I am so happy for you all Renee!!! What a wondeful Christmas present!! Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you have a Very Blessed New Year!!
Oh this is so cool.
Santa came early to our house too, but nothing as special as in your house. We celebrated early as Bianca is on steroids this week and we just know she's not going to enjoy it as much this week.
I'm really happy for you guys!
Wow!! How exciting. Kennedy is sure going to be surprised in the morning
So exciting! Praise God for a wonderful Christmas present for your entire family.
Oh my how awesome for your family!! The looks are your kids faces are priceless. Was it a total surprise for them? How did you keep that secret? I'm very happy for you guys.
OMG! Yoou are just ful of surprises this week! What a wonderful gift for all of you!
OMGosh!!! i think youve had me crying everyday this week!! What an awesome christmas. I cant wait to hear about Kennedy's reaction in the A.M.
HOw'd did you not just burst and tell the kids?? I was going to surprise our kids with going to the pool today but i was so excited i just blurted it out.
What a very Merry Christmas in the Garcia house.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stop smiling I am so happy for y'all. I know the kids were so excited to see him (and you too)! The little 2 will be so happy as well. I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas! So glad Frank is safe at home with his family :)
Renee ... OMG I am soooo friggin happy for you!! Did you know he was coming?! I guess you did, you just want to surprise us! Hahaha. What a great Christmas present!
What a wonderful Christmas gift!! I am so happy and exited for your family. Does he get to stay, or is this just for a couple of weeks? Can't wait to see Kennedy & Keeghan's faces.
This is sooooo exciting! How you kept it from the kids is beyond me! I would have had a terrible time with it. At least you were able to "vent" a little to ease the secret keeping! Congratulations to all of you, and I can't wait to see Kenn's face in the morning!!!!
What a sweet surprise! Merry Christmas.
*wiping away a tear* OH RENEE!!! I am so happy for you two!!!

I started crying! I'm so happy for all of you! Welcome Home Frank! I guess Santa knew posting that song was your own true heartfelt way of saying, it was yours and your kids Christmas wish too!
Thank you Jesus, that Renee and her special K's get to have Hubby/Daddy home for Christmas. Thank you Daddy gets to see the kids faces light up Christmas morning. Thank you for keeping him safe and bringing him home. We praise you in all your glory!
AMEN!!!

Lori Kyle
SHUT UP!!! How awesome is that!!!! Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope he's home for good!
That is awesome!!!!!
Merry Christmas Special K's!
I'm excited and I've never even met the man LOL
Is he back long term or is it just Christmas and then he has to go back??? If he's back longterm does that mean you get to start the adoption process earlier than you said??? Cause that would be pretty awesome =] =]
Merry merry Christmas to all of you =]
So exciting!!! That has to be the best Christmas present ever. I'm teary eyed looking at the photos.....truly magical!
That's so exciting! Wow, surprises don't get much better than that. I love the looks on the kids' faces--priceless.
I am so happy that all of your family is together for Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
Oh that is such wonderful news. Did you know he was coming home already? How did you keep that a secret? He's home for a good long time now, right? I hope so. I think he's done more than his part now ;). Yay, I'm so happy you all got reunited. Darn it, I was hoping to try to get a few more aaaa's before the kidlets get up, but now I think I'm officially awake after reading/seeing this exciting news. It's definitely going to be a merry Christmas in your house ;).
Okay, maybe I better go back to bed. I just re-read my comment. What the heck are aaaa's? That's supposed to say zzzz's ;). Sorry for any confusion.
OH WOW!!! WELCOME HOME FRANK!!!
OH my goodness! What a wonderful Christmas surprise! Was it only you who knew he was coming home? The kids didn't know? That is so neat! Oh that is just too too neat!
I hope he is back for good!
Congratulations again!!!! Oh man, I'm sitting here crying, too! PRAISE GOD!!!
I have been reading here for quite a while...I know Larkin's Mom. Welcome home, Frank, and thank you! Merry Christmas! I know your Christmas will be very special now!
