miss'n daddy

(wrote on Tuesday)
Daddy left yesterday for Boston, but the good news is is that he is suppose to be home tonight. His flight got delayed in Chicago this afternoon. No word when but sometime tonight he said.

There's a lot to be said to have two parents at home every night. It wasn't till we had Bridge that I was able to relate on so many more levels with my students parents.

By the time you get home get the baby fed, changed, bathe and rocked it leaves you feeling exhausted, worn out and the last thing that I want to do is do more work. I am blessed to have my husband home 99% of the time and I can't even begin to imagine how the single mothers/fathers do it on their own.

So much respect.

Last night when Bridge fell asleep I installed his new car seat. I wasn't expecting the reaction that took place on my part. I brought the baby carrier in along with the base of the car seat and set it on the kitchen table. As I was walking back out to tighten up the straps on the new car seat it hit me like a ton of bricks, "my boy is growing up." It stopped me dead in my tracks and I started to get emotional. Where did the time go.

 It was yesterday that I was sitting with him wrapped up in my arms in the sun room singing to him. He was so tiny.

One of my friends said, "how it is that you can be so happy, yet you feel sad at the same time?" That's a question that I seem to face more times then not these days. My heart is full, and the love that I have is so amazing and yet as I watch my boy hit milestones and accomplish things I get so emotional because I know he is growing up. I wouldn't trade these memories that we make everyday. Love you baby Bridge.

Great Aunt Barbra and Uncle Dan stopped in Boise on there way back home and got to meet baby Bridge.

We had a blast.

There was lots of giggles, playing, rocking and eating.

Grandma Rosie made biscuits and gravy (our favorite!) for dinner and we had a great time visiting and catching up.
