A casserole?

Gracie is "beside herself" happy to have Daddy home! Last night was almost as emotional as the departure. At the dinner table, Daddy got to hear her special prayer for his safety, as well as several spontaneous leg hugs and "I missed you so much" 's. She REALLY did not want to go to sleep last night. She asked several times if Daddy was going to leave again. Brey was rocking her and she looked up at him and said "I am so glad you are home Daddy!" I think his heart nearly broken in two. If that was not enough, he had to report to the office this morning at 7:00a.m. (for all of 5 minutes). She woke up super early (of course calling for him). After cuddling for a few minutes he started towards the door and she said "Daddy, PLEASE don't go. . .". She has been on him like glue today and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Maybe Momma will go shopping ~ alone!!! I am certain she would not notice. They were on the computer this morning; when I came in to check on them and she said "NO Momma! You just go out there and make a casserole!" I know Daddy is loving the attention. She is so lucky to have a Daddy that missed her as much as she missed him. . .

By the way, I just wanted to thank you all for caring about our life. Today we reached a Blog milestone. . .1000+ hits! I am truly blessed to have people in my life that care enough to be part of the everyday silliness!
