Al and wife Deborah Roberts have been extra reflective this holiday season, sharing several sweet snaps of their family reunion.
Earlier this week, Deborah, 63, shared a photo of their three kids from years gone by.
The photo showed the three – Courtney, 37; Leila, 25; and Nicholas, 21, gathered together in a photo from many years ago.
Leila and Nicholas looked like toddlers, while big sister Courtney looked to be just coming into her own.
The 20/20 anchor countered the shot with a present-day pic, featuring the three again, sitting on a couch together for the holidays.
Deborah captioned the set: “How it once was….How it is now in 2024 with our life treasures. Boundless #gratitude #family.”
Fans in the comments section showered the mother with praise.
“They look the same. Beautiful people!!!” one person gushed as another added, “Look at those faces!!!”
“Such loved and lovely faces,” a third agreed.
“Beautiful pictures! As it once was and now all grown up!” another complimented.
“Wonderful! Great job mom and dad.”
NEW YEAR GREETINGS
Al and Deborah have been sentimental with the start of the new year.
The 69-year-old morning show staple welcomed his family home with several group shots.
He captioned the post: “No better ones to celebrate saying so long to 2023 and hello 2024.
“They are why I’m here.”
The first photo showed his three children sitting together.
Leila donned an all-black outfit and rested her head on Courtney, who is Al’s daughter from his first marriage to ex-wife Alice Bell.
Courtney smiled at the camera while wearing a red, floral print dress.
Nick did the same and looked dapper as he sported a white button-up and blazer combo.
The next photo included in the post captured the family at dinner.
Al held his granddaughter Sky and was joined by his wife.
Leila’s boyfriend Sylvain was also shown dining with the Rokers as well as Courtney’s husband Wes.
A close-up photo of Al and Sky showed that Al wore a sweater that showcased his famous catchphrase: “In your neck of the woods.”
The beloved weatherman made sure to include a photo of just him and his wife before completing the post with a sweet snapshot of the whole family.
MAJOR MILESTONE
Al has been especially reflective as he marks another major milestone — his recovery from life-threatening blood clots.
The morning show host was hospitalized in November of 2022 after blood clots were found in both his legs and lungs.
Al reflected on the health crisis and the progress he’s made since with an Instagram post.
The weather forecaster shared a photo of New York City, taken from inside his hospital room at that time.
He also included a selfie that captured him and Deborah at the hospital while he recovered.
Al captioned the heartfelt post: “A year ago this morning, this was my view out my window at @nyphospital as I got ready to head home after a long slog in the hospital.
“Thanks to my family, friends and all of you in helping me make this recovery.”
