Ashley's Story

She will leave fingerprints all over your heart

I'm Home

I am glad to be home and sad to be away from my girls. I had a parent teacher conferance with Allie's teacher just after landing this morning. I was so happy to hear of Allie's progress and how she is such a special part of her class. I was thankful to hear about her good grade and diligent work ethic. We are so proud of her and how she is adapting to all of the chaos in her life. We are so thankful to CHS for the stability they are giving our children during these trials in their young lives. I have already managed to find lots of work and unfinished business to keep me busy back home. I talked with Blake on the phone a bit ago and look forward to just hanging out with him tonight. He says he missed me and wants to spend time with me. This made me feel so good because as he gets older it is more difficult to talk with him on the phone. Us guys are really not cut out for telephone conversation. I can't wait to get home and start hanging out with him. Allie was great traveling today. I was hesitant to take her on this trip as I thought I would have less time with Trish and Ash because I would have to entertain Allie the whole time, but Trish and I were so very blessed by Allie and what a great job she did. She was not selfish at all she was just great the whole time we were gone. On the trip up there I got to see the most beautiful sunset from above the clouds and on the trip home I got to see an equally beautiful sunrise from above. It is such a blessing and a reminder of how God continues to provide for us each and every day. Thank you all for your prayers for our Gherkin. Please lift Trish up in prayer as she is the one doing all the hard work. Ummmm... Maybe pray for me a bit to as I am still trying to figure out how to be "Mr. Mom" ....that just sounds so wrong..

May God bless each one of you today,

DAVE

Can't resist.....here are the lyrics to "Mr. Mom" by Lonestar

Lost my job, came home mad
Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
She said I can go to work until you find another job
I thought I like the sound of that
Watch TV and take long naps
Go from a hand working dad to being Mr. Mom

Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr. Mom

Football, soccer and ballet
Squeeze in Scouts and PTA
And there's that shopping list she left
That's seven pages long
How much smoke can one stove make
The kids won't eat my charcoal cake
It's more than any maid can take
Being Mr. Mom

Well
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr.Mom

Before I fall in bed tonight
If the dog didn't eat the classifieds
I'm gonna look just one more time

'Cause
Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer
Crayons go up one drawer higher
Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time
Breakfast, six naps at nine
There's bubble gum in the baby's hair
Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
Been crazy all day long
Oh been crazy all day long and it's only Monday
Mr.Mom

Balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
Thought there was nothing to it
Baby, now I know how you feel
What I don't know is how you do it
