Our week without Daddy

Grant left last Friday for a business trip to FL. He's working at and training the guys at a plant in Lake City. We have missed him VERY much!! He comes home tomorrow and then we're heading straight to Mississippi for a long weekend.

We've been trying to stay busy since he's been gone. None of us really know how to act. Bailey's not getting the attention she's used to, so she's been a little jealous of Austin and acting out. Austin's being needier than usual. And I'm so off my schedule it's unreal. I normally like to clean house before Grant comes home each day and have dinner close to the time he gets home. But I haven't been cooking, or really cleaning for that matter. Well, the house is clean, but not in my usual routine.

We have not been doing a lot of this:
(in fact it's nearly 1 am and Bailey is still awake...my theory is that she's waiting for Daddy)

Especially not this little boy. He'll sleep for a few minutes on his own and then he wants to be held. He sleeps great if he's held, but mommy doesn't get to sleep then. He does sleep a little more soundly when his head is back like that. Looks uncomfortable doesn't it?

We went and played with David while he was at Nana and Papa's this past weekend. They rode bikes and we walked to the playground. Bailey had a BLAST! She loves playing with "Dadid"

And Bailey's new favorite thing to do is this:

She's "tapping". She's been climbing up in the chair all by herself and just typing away.

Well I'll post again when we get back from Mississippi. Grant will be going back to Florida the next week, but we get to go with him! It is just not fun without him here and Mommy is definitely more stressed.
