Jason Inskeep is getting used to life as a civilian again.

Jason was one of the Minnesota National Guard members deployed to Iraq for more than a year. His wife Nicky is also in the Guard, but she's in a different unit and has been home taking care of their 4-year-old daughter, Kirsten.

This week, Jason returned home. MPR's Cathy Wurzer visited the Inskeeps at their Woodbury home to see what it's been like to be reunited.
