madison and i got home from church on sunday and were walking to the front door when it opened and dan was standing there! to say i was shocked is an understatement. afterward dan said he thought i would have been more excited to see him but i was trying to figure out, logically, how he was back home.
dan was at a derm conference in san fransisco this weekend and was scheduled to fly back to NM sunday. turns out he changed his flight and landed in phoenix so we got to spend the day with him before he flew back sunday night. what a surprise! we were so excited. the picture above is from last time dan came home for the weekend and we had a "family hug". madison was SO excited to see him!
we spent the rest of the afternoon together, had a great dinner at my in-laws, and played with madison on the trampoline before i had to take him back to the airport. she turns into a crazy person who just giggles and runs out of control until she falls over, and starts again. i love the faces she makes and one picture shows her hair 'flying' in the wind. (warning: picture overload!)
i look exhausted and huge - and unfortunately, both descriptions are accurate. i wish it was just the picture!
madison LOVED playing with her dad and it's always hard to see him go. she is his best buddy and clings to him the whole time he is home. the poor girl has had to say so many good byes with all our traveling and dan being gone. she has been a trooper. but now just four days left and dan is home for good, after twelve weeks of away rotations. i am ecstatic that it is almost over

what a great surprise! horray for almost being over the "away" part. ron is gone for 12 hours every day between work/school, and some days i hardly survive. i don't know what i'd do for 12 WEEKS.
Aaaw! How fun! What a wonderful surprise!! I love the pic of Madison's wind mohawk, so cute!!!
i love the hair. ahhhhh so much sacrifice! I don't know how you stand being away from him and vise versa
What a good honey!!! Matt did that to me once, coming home early from CA and surprising me at the door! You can tell by the delight on Madison's face how much she adores her daddy! And I love the picture of your belly resting on the trampoline! That's so funny! You have endured well and it's almost over!!
I'm excited to have our babies so close together!
