Ready to go get Daddy!
Wednesday was the day we’ve been waiting for! So all day we prepared for Daddy’s return! We made posters, finished a special scrapbook, made his favorite muffins, and cleaned the house! Then Tanner and I left to go to the airport! He was pumped because we got a special dinner out – McDonald’s! Then it was off to see Daddy! We help up our signs and waved! And we haven’t stopped talking to him since he’s arrived! Even Leighton gets in on the “talking” or babbling in his case!
These last few weeks have been long, because we love having Daddy around, but they have been full of blessing as well! When John left, I thought how am I going to do this every day, all day? The first day, we made a chain to count down the days, and the kids couldn’t even hold it without it dragging on the ground, it was so long! That first day, looking at the links of that chain, I almost cried right there. But, this month has been full of blessings!
My blessing was just being able to be with my boys and enjoy them each day! You know there are days when you struggle to really enjoy your children – you know the days of constant crying, disobedience, and messes. It’s not that my precious guys were any different than they are normally; it was God who gave me a new heart, more patience, in short – more of Him! (And only a few tears on this mama’s part!) We just enjoyed each other and the simple things of life! Each day I collapsed into bed, exhausted, but so thankful and smiling!
And since we presented John with a scrapbook so he could be a part of our life in the last month without him, here’s what we’ve been up to!
Foam Play! And no it does not taste too good!
Bug day!
Wrestling, Spaghetti, and Sundaes!
Many Faces of Fun!
Collapsing each night!
