I'm so glad when daddy comes home!


Dad is driving home right now! We survived the 15 week long two internships and I am so glad he will be home with us again. I miss him and I'm tired! The girls have missed him too and are constantly asking when daddy will come home. On Wednesday Lucy asked when daddy would be home and I told her in TWO days! Then yesterday during prayer she prayed for daddy to come home on TUESday.

We've been practicing writing their first names for a few months now. Usually they'd trace the letters or follow dotted lines, but today they both did it all by themselves! I can't believe how grown up they are getting,...so crazy. Audrey drew a smiling sun and a straight lined rainbow. She ran out of room to write her name, so on another sheet of paper she asked me to draw a butterfly and colored it completely green. Lucy also asked me to draw a butterfly and she wanted a sun with a tree. Then she drew three holes in the tree trunk for the squirrels to live in and she also drew nine big red apples in the tree each with a black stem and a green leaf. Of course, the butterfly needed to be pink and the sun needed a smiling face like Audrey's sun. Sage just screamed at me to draw her things and scribbled.

Audrey's smiling sun, rainbow and squished name (she added the tree w/ apples after she saw Lucy's)

Audrey's green butterfly and name--for some reason she wanted an O on the end ???

Lucy's sun, butterfly, and apple tree. She did the Y twice...hers are the two on the right

She did her name again on the back with more room.

Sage's beautiful orange and black scribbles...she must be excited for Halloween!

Soraya used to write her E's like that, with lots of horizontal lines. I loved it!
