She's beautiful.

That was the reaction of Staff Sgt. Matt Barber of New Prague when he first saw his newborn daughter Addison Marie last week.

Those words were typed into a computer from Iraq. In a few weeks, he'll get a chance to see his daughter in person.

Matt's wife Julie gave birth to Addison, the couple's second child, on Tuesday, July 3.
