Busy Days & Wishes

Justin has been in China for work for the past seven days.


We have been keeping very busy in order to distract ourselves from the loss of his presence. We spent the weekend with my parents and had a great time at the Children’s Museum. MissViolet has sprouted a toddler’s personality in the past month and suddenly adores playing dress up. (Pics to come.)

Yesterday we went to Great Wolf Lodge with Moo-moo (J’s mom), Aunt Lori, Wesley, Tucker for the night. (It was super-fun. I highly recommend it. And go on a weekday if you can, ‘cuz the pool wasn’t busy or crowded at all.) We shared the fun with Poppy, Great-Aunt Jamie, Cousins Brandy, James, Mia, and Brenna today.

At the end of our wild two-day adventure, GA Jamie bought all the kids a “build-a-bear” type of souvenir. As they filled & stuffed their new toys they got to put a star into the bear and make a wish.

As MissLily was filling hers, I asked, “What did you wish for?”

Her reply, “I wish for my Daddy to come home.”

Choke back a sob... “Me. Too.”
