Christian has been out of town or out of pocket for WAYYYYYYY too long. Between 2 conferences, a board meeting, and all the over the top preparation she puts in, it feels as though she has been gone since Christmas. The kids and I (Ben) have been getting a lot of time together, which is NOT as cheery as it may sound. we are all tired and getting over illness. On the plus side, my authoritative “dadness” has taken a huge step up. Both kids spent time in time-out tonight as I got dinner together and they were both in bed well before out normal bed time. But I think we might make it through this period. Christian should be home with us by Saturday…. only 4 more days of this.
I did spend some time on Sunday painting Chloe’s nails. Although she had chewed off all the color by the time she took a bath. But not before I snapped proof of my awesome “dadness.”
Work is fine right now, but I need a vacation from the rest of life. Oh well, I guess college is just around the corner… t-minus 15 years?
I am l-o-v-i-n-g the fact that you painted her nails! And I realize she’s throwing a fit, but boy is she looking grown up!! Hopefully tomorrow night will get you recharged enough to make it thru the rest of the week – with your sanity 🙂 Love you guys!!
