bedtime tales

Remember this post???

Well.  He's home ;)

From Nov. 3, 2010:

A friend said I was bored, but I was actually having a lot of fun painting on my face:

My husband comes home from Afghanistan this month and I am suuuper excited!!!

So if you notice that I drop out of the blog world this month...

its probably because I am spending every waking (and sleeping) hour curled up next to my soldier on his home leave.

My kids are really excited too!

We made a poster using this technique

And I think it turned out really well ;) 

On a more serious note, 

I recently received this comment from Gloria

and I appreciate her kindness in recognizing a soldier's sacrifice for our country.  It made me think, though, that my own kids, without much say in the matter, have also given their own sacrifice.

So I just want to take a moment to say thank you to my kids.

Thank you for... 

giving me kisses in the morning, 

for drawing pictures of us with Daddy,

for running around the house and keeping it alive,

for cuddling with me when I miss Daddy,

for singing "I'm so glad when Daddy comes home," at the top of our lungs in the car,

for jumping for joy every time we see Daddy on skype,

for reminding me that I'm in Daddy's chair every time I sit in the drivers seat instead of the passengers seat,

for keeping an empty seat with Daddy's name on it at the table every meal time,

for being patient in waiting for Daddy's return every day for the last 5 1/2 months,

and for helping me make our welcome home poster!!!

I'm so glad when Daddy comes home.
