We're so glad that Daddy is home...

Just wanted to give a quick update since both of my boys have been sleeping since 8:30, and I don't know what to do with myself. Brig came home on Friday night. He came unexpectedly. He had told me just hours before showing up at my grandparents door that he wouldn't be here until Saturday... It was an awesome surprise. It couldn't have been more perfect. I had had a crazy week getting ready for him to come and trying to finish end of the term papers and other projects for school. My sister, Chelsie, was here with her little boy Madden and I couldn't have done it without her. She babysat Maxiffin, cooked dinner, and did my grocery shopping. Sidenote: Thanks, Chels! I am so grateful for your help. Max loves his Daddy, which is no shocker if you know how well Brig does with kids. They have watched "Happy Feet", spent hours laughing at the dinner table (Brig is LOVING the eating experience with Max - as you can imagine), and bonded while I finished up my last two finals. Brig can't seem to get enough of him. Muffin imitates him with sounds and says, "Da-Da-Da!" The first day Brig was here, Muffin crawled for more than a few feet, like he had been waiting for Daddy. (He still likes to Army crawl.) He has also started pulling himself up - and peers over his pack-n-play in the morning when he wants us to get him out. It has been so much fun! We will post some family pictures around Christmas. Hope you are enjoying the holidays as much as we are!
