Missing Daddy

It is really cute to see how much my kids really like their daddy.

Every night we read books before going to bed. Right. But tonight Treydon noticed Ashie picked out a photo book of pictures that Treydon has on the shelf. He responded "That's not a book". To which I explained that Ashelyn liked to look at daddy in the pictures (Trey is usually off getting his last wiggles out in the toy room). Trey then responded "Oh, yeah, daddy is in the pictures." He sat down and we spent twenty minutes finding daddy in the pictures. We only went through each picture twice. It was really cute.

Quin is out on rotations and the kids miss him. Ashelyn says "Daddy working lots". She is getting to be quite the talker. Treydon keeps asking when Quin will be home, to which I explain how many weeks are left. He responds "Holy cow, that is such a long time!" It is a lot more exaggerated when he says it.

I am sure glad they love their dad, because this single parenting is not fun.

What is it about these Young boys we married? Madison about hyperventilates every time she THINKS she hears Shaun coming home. She ran right out into the middle of the street yesterday trying to chase down a black truck she thought was her dads! Yeah for good dads!
