SUNDAY (11 Mar) - DAD is coming home!

How precious it is to sit hear in the library and overhear Arielle, Nolan and Zander talk about Mike coming home. Four more days...."He's going to walk into the door and we are all going to scream and jump all over him". Ah I love these children and their dad.

They don't seem to realize that we are NOT going to wait passively at home for Dad to walk through the door! LOL

Josiah is desperately trying to get the time off to meet Mike at the airport, but the time keeps changing...and he's coming in during spring break. I'm praying that this works out so that Josiah can be at the airport with us. Today at lunch he told us the story of Mike's return from Hungary. I went to the airport to pick up Mike - I have no IDEA why I didn't take all the children (oh, there was a huge ice/snow storm, I was very pregnant with Nolan and we were advised not to drive - his boss picked me up and drove me to the airport). The children hid and planned to jump out screaming when we walked in the door. Josiah chose to hide in the front closet. Mike walked in, was attacked from all sides, dropped his bag (in front of the closet) and Josiah was inside pounding and trying to get out while he heard all the other children welcoming Mike home. I didn't remember this. I shared it with Mike and he didn't remember either. We are going to do all we can to make sure this young man gets to welcome Mike home front and center THIS time. ::snort::

We have a little chain that we are taking rings off of every night...only four more rings left!!!!
