Poem for Daddy

It's only been a month now Daddy,

Still have 5 more to go

I've gotten a little bigger Daddy,

But have a lot more to grow

We talk a lot on the phone

But your face I never see

Mommy shows me a picture of you

And I remember all the fun we had, just you & me

I see you Daddy, in my dreams

Where we can play & twirl

For now, its the only place I can have my Daddy

And my Daddy can have his little girl.

I'm counting down the days

Till my Daddy comes back to me

But for now I will be happy

Seeing my Daddy in my dreams

One day my dream will come true

And you'll come home to me

And you'll have stories to tell me

Explaining that freedom is not free

I will run into your arms Daddy

And never let you go

And tell you how much I love you

My Daddy, My Hero

1 month down, 5 more left

until Daddy can come home

where he is loved best

Bed Time!

Lily was so excited to get ready for bed tonight because she got to wear her new Ariel nightie! (Thank you Grammy!) Ariel is her new favorite princess & she loves anything that has her on it. If it helps her want to go to bed I'm all for it! :oP

Vader was getting ready for bed too & he tucked himself into his bed with his blankie...

Hot Air Balloon Festival

Grammy & I took Lily to the hot air balloon festival at the Elks. We were a little disappointed when we got there because there were no balloons! We waited around for a little while & watched a demonstration they had on police dogs. Then we took Lily on the train ride, let her bounce in the bouncy castle, got an ice cream & FINALLY the hot air balloons starting setting up. We had to wait a LONG time, but it was worth it! Seeing the balloons fill up & start to fly away was really something. Lily was amazed by them. (love Lily's little poses...)
