The Malcolm Family - home again!

It feels great to be home.  After the push of the last few days, you can only imagine how great it feels to be out of the truck.  We got home around 9pm on the 3rd - it took Colter a few minutes to process where we were, but then it was Christmas day.  He rediscovered all his toys, hopped on his Mopi (bike) and sped around the house for the better part of an hour.

Home.
