When Dad is Away

some snippits of what happens the first week dad is away:

1. first morning, the kids say "Mom, remember you have to feed us dinner tonight" (that was Dad's specialty - I am no cook)
2. Sienna finds every picture of Justin in our house and points and says "dada" she doesn't talk at any other time or on command even, so this is precious.
3. Michael and Aislynn want to sleep in my king size bed because dad lets them do that when I am out of town. That lasted 5 minutes because they were so loud and jumping all over the place. To which I hear, "Ah, you are not as fun as dad."
4. I am generally more of a pushover than dad, so the kids try all sorts of stuff to get out of anything they don't want to do. Mikey tries to get out of going to church by saying, "I love Jesus, but I just hate going to church"
5. Sunday - I thought I did so well getting to church 10 minutes early -- only to realize it was daylight savings time and we were 50 minutes late.
6. We skype with Dad on sunday and the children are crazy, out of control all over the place, they ask dad if he has recess at his Air Force school. When we end the skype Mikey says, "so is dad coming home tomorrow?"

Don't I wish. 4 MORE WEEKS!!! We can't wait to have him back.
