CELEBRATING

{daddy-at-home}

*today is a sad sort of day. it is the beginning of a new "era" for our little family. we have been so so lucky that "dad" has an office here so he can work-at-home. which has meant all sort of wonderfullnesses. like having him here for lunch. or a quick visit by the boys for some licorice (or better yet, for me, a late morning kiss*), or when I run into a snag with 2 of the boys, he intercedes for a few minutes so I can man-handle the baby, or a quicky errand while the young boys are napping---which is a thing of the past. a break time wrestle session on the mats with dad will have to wait until after dinner. my mornings will now consist of handing off a bag lunch, a (long) smooch, and everyone waving goodbye out the window. yes, it is a sad sort of day at the neiner household. we have been so very, very lucky to have John's presence if only but here & there throughout the day. but, we are CELEBRATING the wonderful year & 8months we did have him here with us throughout every day. and, of course, this will just make the "welcome home's" even more sweet.

I'm sorry. I'm sure that 1 year and 8 months was the perfect time that the boys (and you) needed daddy "there". That must have been wonderful and now must seem like a very short time. cute pic of the boys enjoying daddy

Oh, here's to celebrating those ever sweet homecomings. New blessings for you.

We have a bit of a hard time "letting go" of Papa ourselves each and every morning and O has never worked from home.
