Brandon left Friday night for our annual church mission trip. But, by the time you read this he will be home. I made Connor a construction paper chain & every morning we cut off a link. He knows that when the links are gone Daddy is coming home. Last nigh after dinner he asked for Brandon. He knew that Brandon usually comes home at dinner time. It was pretty cute. And at bedtime he needed extra stories & cuddles. Poor little guy is lost without his buddy. Brandon's parents are coming over today (Sunday). And Tara gets here on Tuesday. She is a good friend who is home from college & will be staying with us from Tuesday through Friday. We will plan lots of fun activities to keep the boys busy. Tara has tons of energy & is great with the kids. Plus it is nice to have someone around in the evenings. I don't know how single parents do it. I would go crazy!!!
