Our Lil' Lovebug: Daddy's Gone & Antenneas!

Whew...what a couple of days. Matt left yesterday for school in Ft. Lee, VA for 7 weeks. We spent Wednesday getting his stuff ready and spending time together. He surprised Gracie and I and took us out for dinner at Chili's. This has become Gracie's newest favorite restaurant just based on the fact she loves their salsa. Yeah, you read that right, she loves the salsa. She will get a chip, dip it in the salsa, push it down farther to dip her hand in the salsa, and then lick it all off of her hand. We went through so many napkins it was a little ridiculous.

Then, all got up earlier then usual to drop Matt off at the airport. I have to admit this time is harder then any other time. Actually they are all hard, it doesn't matter if it is only for a few days or weeks, or months...it is always hard. I am handling it better today. I think a lot of it is the fact that Gracie really wants daddy home and it has been a long time since Matt has been gone then just a few days. Either way, we are getting in a routine and before you know it, it will be time for him to come home. We are currently looking for some cheap plane tickets so Gracie and I can fly down to see him graduate from school.

Today was a good day, mainly because it is FRIDAY! I have been looking forward to today because I am exhausted. I swear I can't get enough sleep. My allergies have been bothering me so I think that has a lot to do with it. Gracie has been the same way. Although she was awake enough and sleepy enough this morning for me to put her hair in two little pigtails and leave them in ALL DAY! I was so surprised to see them still in when I picked her up from daycare today (where she immediately asked for her daddy..it is going to be a long weeks!). No worries here are some pictures for you!

We are going to take it easy and spend some time around the house this weekend. The only thing we have planned is Gymboree tomorrow. I hope you all are having a relaxing weekend like us! I will update with some pictures over the weekend too! Have a good one...it's time for me to hit the hay...

Too cool...
