As most of you know, we don't get to see Greg much. With him working swing shift and me working full-time and Colby in school, Creighton at daycare, it is a rare occassion that we get to spend time together as a complete family.
At night when the kids and I are coming home and we turn the corner to our house - if they see the garage lights on they immediately start singing out, "Daddy's Home, Daddy's Home!" It just makes their day. Unfortunately, that just doesn't happen often enough. We also have a lot of disappointing nights when we come around the corner and the place is dark. The first question is usually, "when will Daddy be home?" And, the answer is always, "long after you two have gone to bed". Sometimes it just breaks my heart to see the disappointed faces.
However, this weekend happens to be the ONE weekend a month that Greg is actually home! The kids are looking forward to it. No major plans. We'll just see what each day brings. Ahhh, waiting patiently for 5 o'clock tonight.....

i think that chant "daddy's home, daddy's home" is universal! i hear it daily. feel blessed these kids have a daddy to count on...
I do feel sooo blessed that my kids have a dad who is an active and involved parent. Even though the situation is not ideal with the crazy schedules, etc., there are too many kids that don't even have the option of seeing their dad. That is sad....Thanks for reminding me to count my blessings....
1 hour 38 minutes and counting....
have a great weekend!!!
