Indescribable

 

 

 

 

it’s the weirdest thing. you wait and wait. for months, or a year,

and you are so ready for them to come home.

in the days leading up to redeployments i am SO emotional. i knew he’d be home sometime friday and all week i swear i cried at the drop of a hat!

and i didn’t sleep a wink thursday night,

and then all of the sudden bright and early friday morning he walked in the front door.

and just like that it was back to the way it always is.

us.

and if you can’t tell from the photos, the chickies haven’t left him alone for a second.

“DADDYYYYYYYY” rings through the house day and night. along with giggles, shrieks, and “LOOK AT ME!!” “noooo daddy, hug ME!!!”.

and his love never ceases. he never rolls his eyes or says not now…he beams. and his love for them is so apparent, it makes me love him even more.

and i watch them and smile, and i think about this. next time he comes home, we will have four. and this happiness? will be magnified.

it’s better every time. we get better every time. i love us. how we are as a family, how much love and respect we have for one another.

even when we bicker, or need a break from eachother for a bit. even when there is hair pulling and eye-poking (the girls, not us!!!!!), we treat each other with respect and realize it’s OK.

and as much as i hate it when he’s away, it makes it that much sweeter when he’s home.

so much sweeter.

love you all, happy sunday!
