The Hubs has been out of the country on business for 2 SOLID WEEKS! 2 UNINTERRUPTED WEEKS. 336 HOURS. For this happily married gal that is a VERY.LONG.TIME. Now imagine how long it feels to an enamored-with-her-daddy 3 year old. Let's just say it's been crazy long.
Hubs...we can not wait to see you! I know that in two weeks you have traveled across the ocean, lived in an apartment with a man you'd never seen in person before, worked long hours, walked through a city you've never been to, navigated public transportation, a language barrier, and that strange Happy Day juice that is from an unidentifiable fruit or veggie source. I know that you have gotten very little sleep, had to work long hours, and eat lots of heavy food. I know that you miss us and think of us daily. We love the videos you send. I know that this has been an amazing experience.
Did you know....
- we are so proud of you and love that you provide for us
- Cupcake took a 2 week swim class while you were gone and is such a little fish
- Cutie Pie decided to eat beets like a champ
- I only resorted to Chic-fil-a ONE time
- Cupcake learned to write the numbers 1, 7, and 10 in perfect penmanship and the others a bit like Picasso but still loves to write
- I managed to keep everyone fed, dressed, and bathed....even if some baths were showers at the pool. Oh yes...I did bring shampoo to the rinse shower!
- we prayed for you everyday together, Cupcake is really becoming a little pray-er
- I cut 60 nails (fingers and toes) while you have been gone
- Cupcake started her summer dance class
- Our dear friend Christine got engaged
- My Mom retired and gave her first days to helping us out
- We went to a birthday party
- We ate 3 pounds of blueberries.
- I am addicted to Draw Something
- We washed my car
- We sent some cards to people we loved
- We watched only one princess movie, one time
- We started a new bible verse
- We had lots of poop in the potty
- We didn't save it for you
- We got a package in the mail from Nana and one from Gigi
- Someone is spoiled despite our efforts
- I got a pedicure from a 3 year old prepare to see blue and pink Picasso toes
- I didn't shave my legs until I knew you were on your way home...it's good insurance for not attracting anyone in your absence and saves about 6 minutes of precious time per shower...that's over an hour in 2 weeks
- I did shave my armpits, that's just a necessity
- I managed to have the same number of loads of laundry, guess we know who doesn't change clothes 2-3 times a day
- I said one cuss word ok maybe three....all related to spilling things.
- Cupcake told her swim teacher you'd be back in a few days. The teacher asked where you went. Cupcake said to a far away land to have sweet dreams. Wonder if the teenager thinks we have drug issues?
- Our neighbor asked if we were "ok"....good to have someone with 60+ years of marriage looking out for our marriage
- I've slept with your pillows, every night
- Cutie Pie said Da-da....about 100 times
I'm sure I'm missing a few hundred things but the highlight reel is a good start, right? We can't believe you'll be home soon. It's been a long two weeks and Cupcake is soooo glad to see the end of this paper chain....
Welcome home. We've missed you!!

What a great idea to have a paper chain for a little one to count the days! I laughed at many of your entries. You did a super job "holding the fort" Love, N
