Missing Daddy!

I was planning on posting this last Tuesday, but obviously some things came up! So, since we are missing him today and he can't come home, I thought I'd do it now...even though he won't see it for a while. We have the most wonderful Daddy because:

1. He stayed up with mommy into the wee hours of the morning to keep her company walking the floors with baby girl last Sunday.
2. He woke up hours later (5am to be exact) just to keep mommy company while she rocked baby girl.
3. He stayed up to get Colin off to school, while mommy went back to bed.
4. He took over mommy duties: packing lunches, getting homework ready, dressing Colin and getting him on the bus.
4. He changed sheets, very yucky sheets.
5. He did laundry, his and ours, also very yucky.
6. He played peek-a-boo over mommy's shoulder to keep baby girl from crying, even though he had to cover his nose with his shirt.
7. He went to the store for groceries and supplies.
8. He played patty cakes, even though exhausted, over and over and over again!

9. He cuddled for hours even though baby girl was germ infested.
And the top reason we missed Daddy this week:

10. In 36 hours, he made us all smile and laugh and feel protected and loved. He is a wonderful man and I am so happy he is mine.

So glad he is feeling better! He headed back to work last night and claimed to be feeling fine. Thankful for that. Colin is definitely feeling better. Not 100%, but I'd say pretty close. He's still tired, but we MIGHT head back to school Monday or Tuesday. We'll see how today goes. Chloe is better, much better, and took the soy formula fine. I think we'll stick with that for now.

Today feels normal. I love normal. Happy to have my simple life back for now.
