Tears of Joy

He's back!!  David returned on Friday which was a day earlier than we originally thought.  We decided to keep it a secret and surprise the girls by picking them up from school that day.  Turns out Emily was still sick and home from school that day so I told her we had to run a quick errand.  She was watching a movie in the car and didn't see him until he was loading bags in the car. The look was priceless. 


She hugged him so tightly and actually started to sob all the while with the biggest smile on her face.  She was crying tears of joy - I don't think I will ever forget it.


On to the important stuff...what did Daddy bring me?  Why skinny jeans of course!  But not just any old regular skinny jean - hot pink hello kitty skinny jeans!  Naturally.


Think she was happy to get dressed for school today?  Since I attended the PTA meeting last week my girls both get free dress passes today.  This is a far cry from a khaki skort and blue polo huh?


Liv got new skinny jeans from Dad too.  They both looked very cute and cool!  Sorry about the blurry photo, we move fast around here in the mornings to get in the car by 7:20.  

It was a great weekend of doing nothing but hanging out as a family and I got to say one of my favorite things..."go ask your father!"

Huge shout out to the Chapmans for being the B&B weekend getaway for David for the last 6 weeks.  You guys rock and have your rooms reserved in paradise!

The smile on Em's face is priceless! It's great that your family is enjoying the same time zone again!

Thanks for sharing such a sweet moment.

BTW....the Hello Kitty skinny jeans ROCK! Where or where did he find them?!
