Emily and I decided about a month ago that we would surprise my parents by me flying home at a completely random time and showing up at their new house. It worked like a charm! Alas, since we were all caught up in the moment, we didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the event.

Well, a week later we decided on another surprise - Melissa and Molly (whom I affectionately call Max) flew down from Minnesota to do the exact same thing! And this time, I was able to catch Dad’s reaction on tape. View the moment right here.
