Twenty-four hours down


Maddy,

Well, we made it. Twenty-four whole hours without Daddy.  You’ve been awesome.  You know Daddy is at work, in Ohio, wherever that may be.  You know it’s far away; farther than you can see out the window in the living room.  You also know it will be a long time before Daddy comes home. Really, you’ll get to see him Saturday but for a two and a half year old six days feels like forever.

To be honest, it feels like forever to Mama too.  Your Mama and Dada have yet to be apart from one another for more than 72 hours and even that was only once.  We love you and our little family unit so much and are so happy being together that it is hard to go away for any amount of time.  I’ve always thought this was “normal” but sometimes Mama thinks we are the odd ones out.  I digress darling.

We spent all of Valentine’s day with Grammy and Papa.  That was pretty wonderful. We took Daddy over for Valentine’s breakfast with Joe, Heather, Uncle and Tina.  Grammy and Papa got you "a special present for a holiday" as you call it.  Yummy chocolates!  You gave Daddy a big hug and kiss then Mama took him to meet his friend Armando and wish him well on his trip.

Back at the ranch you and Papa watched Daytona 500, you helped Grammy and me make everyone crème brûlée and we built on heck of a big, big train track.  It sprawled from the kitchen to the hallway through the foyer and the dining room.  It was wonderful.  You had Spencer, Nevel, Emily, Toby and Murdock chasing each other.  For lunch we had soup that Uncle Mickey made us.  You drank most of your broth and even had some carrots.  I was impressed.

We finally headed home around 6:30pm.  Got you in your jammies and we cuddled on the couch and watched Thomas till bedtime.  You were such a good boy.  You didn’t ask for Daddy at all but you gave me an extra hug and kiss for him at bedtime.

Mama is excited to spend this whole week with you.  Today it’s just you, Jenn and Sig.  Jenn has lots of fun things planned for you today.  I’m going to be excited to get you tonight.

I love you Maddy,
Mama
