update

Life around here is beginning to get back to the normal routine, as Peter is now finished with over time, for right now! It is nice to be eating dinner earlier and getting the kids to bed a little earlier too, as I think they really needed it. But most of all, it is just wonderful to have Peter home more. The kids just adore their Papa! They LOVE when he gets home. He plays football, tickle monster, wrestling, shooting, cuddling (mostly for Stella... because cuddling is her favorite thing to do and Dominic cannot usually fit it into his hectic schedule!), and just about anything with them. He is the greatest dad, and I am so happy that my children have him as their papa!
I am going on the CTK womens' retreat this weekend... without the kiddos. I am feeling very sad about it, because I do not like leaving my children. I hardly ever leave them, and I am happiest that way, but I know that this retreat will be good for me, as I could really use some quiet time with God, and I also think that it will be good for the kids to have some one on one time with Peter. Only good can come of this, but I am missing them already!
To finish, I have a quick and cute story about Dominic. Peter was cutting his own hair with the buzzer one morning, as Dominic intently watched. When he was finished, Dominic stood up, and very emphatically said: "Oh Papa! You a boy now!"

So glad you have more time with Peter! Liam just started a 3 week project that has him carpooling an hour away, so he's gone most of the time the kiddo is awake - he leaves at 5:30 and gets home 7:30. We miss him lots. :-( But it's only temporary, and he's taking wednesday off to come with Gui and I to see the baby's ultrasound!

Give your little ones a cuddle for me, they're getting big so fast! Have a great time this weekend - I miss the women's retreats.

I'm so bummed that I'm missing the women's retreat! Circumstances have made it impossible for me to go for three years running now. I hope you have a good time, though! Next year, I'll be there.
