Daddy's home...

On Friday, the kids and I were making cookies, but I made them sit down on their chairs and wait while I got everything ready. They decided to play pat-a-cake while they were waiting on me and it was too cute not to grab the camera.



Doug got home Sat afternoon. The kids were so happy he was home, they kept crawling on him and grabbing him to play with them. He was tired from being up late Friday night, but they wouldn't give him any room to snooze.

Doug unpacked his suitcase in the living room and Bradley got a hold of his shoes.

Today, Gracie was out of school and Doug was off work b/c in Canada today is a holiday: 'Family Day'. We went to run some errands and grabbed lunch while we were out and when we got back, we decided to go to the park. Doug ended up falling asleep on the couch, so I took the kids myself while he had a nap. As you can tell from the pictures, our temps have been warmer lately and the snow is mostly melted. Today got up to 11C (52F), so we didn't even need big jackets to play. It was great fun. Hopefully, this nice weather will hold up and we can walk to school all week.

Doug's grandfather died early Sun morning, so he is leaving the house tomorrow morning at about 4:30 to catch a 6:30 flight to Vegas and from there he takes a flight to Chicago. He'll be renting a car and driving to IN from there, so it will be a long day of traveling for him. We would have liked for the whole family to go, but it is just too expensive. He will be with his whole family at the funeral on Wed and return home late Thurs night.
