Daddy Bears

After 8 long days gone, Tommy finally made it home from Cincinnati Thursday evening. The girls were so, so excited to see him. Gracyn knew he was coming that night, and she asked over and over all day, "Where my Daddy?" We were waiting outside when his car finally came up the street and she just couldn't stop laughing. She had the biggest smile and she just called his name and laughed and laughed. My die-hard Mama's girls were even partial to him through about Friday evening. That first day they wanted him to do everything with them. Gracyn even told me, "Go away!", when I tried to push her on the swings. By Saturday there were pretty much Mama's girls again.

Unfortunately we only got to have him home for 3 days before he headed back out this morning. So, on Saturday we took the girls to Build-A-Bear so they could make a bear with Daddy's voice. He gave them each their own personal message, then they selected their bear to put it in. Hopefully between the bears and Facetime on the Iphones, they won't miss him too bad.

We are in a rough part of this moving process. As long as all the inspections go smoothly, we will be closing on 0ur house there on March 7th. This house, despite 35 showings and an open house has yet to sell. If we haven't sold by Feb. 20th, we will begin processing our buy-out offer, so that we can be ready for close there. In the mean time that leaves 5 weeks, 3 of which Tommy is gone for. He is exhausted from traveling back and forth, the two hour time change, living in a hotel, learning a new job and orchestrating our re-lo. I am exhausted from taking care of all 3 girls, keeping the house ready to show by myself, taking care of my parts of the move, and just missing him. As much as we aren't ready to leave Denver, we are ready to have some normalcy and to have our family in one spot. Prayers for us are greatly appreciated!
