The kids woke up Saturday morning to a BIG surprise...Daddy was home, having arrived in the middle of the night. I heard the door open about 3:30am and Sequoia's tail "womp, womp, womp" on the hardwood floor when he came in.
Ethan, we could tell, didn't quite register that Daddy was here and that it was unusal...when he came in the bedroom, he said "what's the surprise?"...it took a moment to realize that Dad was home! (I'm looking on the positive side that life must be SO NORMAL and STABLE for him that he hardly notices that a major part of his family isn't around.) Evelyn followed and was speechless; and also a little teary. I think she was so full of emotion, all she could do was give a big hug. Alex followed and was visibly excited... later he said "that was the best surprise ever!"
A short weekend, though, Ric was already on his way out by Sunday night, a red-eye flight through Las Vegas to Tampa, arriving around 7:00am in time to get to work.
It was so nice to have him home, kind of like he never even left! And the football gods smiled down on him when the Giants won the Super Bowl last night. I think Ric's so happy about the win, it's not fazing him too much that he's still actually stuck in Las Vegas, will be missing work all day today, and will get back to Tampa later tonight if he's lucky.
Well, we'll see you in 10 days for the next visit!
