Daddy is Home....Thank Goodness

For the last two weeks Andrew has been in Montana for training. When he left two Sundays ago I was very nervous and scared but Jacob and I had lots of activities lined up to keep us busy. The first week went very well and we were visited by Grandma Barb, Aunt Rachel, and our friend Leila. Friday we headed home to PA to spend the weekend with my parents and Jacob got sick. The second week by ourselves did not go very well. We were both home sick on Tuesday and Wednesday and Aunt Rachel had to come save us on Monday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday night. Thank goodness for Aunt Rachel!!! Thursday night Aunt Rachel came over to babysit while I went to bell choir and I left counting down the hours until Andrew got home. When I arrived home at 8:30, Rachel had Jacob fed and asleep and I couldn't have loved her anymore. I took Jacob upstairs, put him in his crib, and took a long shower and went to bed. Finally, at 2am, Andrew came home!

We missed daddy during the two weeks he was gone, but we talked to him every night on the phone and sent him picture updates 2 or 3 times a day. Jacob learned some new tricks while he was away. He started sleeping on his side, sucking his right thumb, staying on his stomach more, is sticking out his tounge,and playing in the jumperoo. Andrew was so happy to see Jacob on Friday morning and they have been inseparable ever since. I think Jacob is very glad to have his best friend back.
