Two weeks
May 31, 2011
Before the girls and I left for our trip, Mike warned me that "Emily better not be walking when [we] get back." Two weeks is a long time to be away from your babies, especially during a time that they seem to grow up so quickly anyway. I couldn't even imagine being away from my girls for two whole weeks! (sorry honey) It's funny that he said that because it seemed like as soon as we left, Em was all of a sudden so interested in walking. I was getting really nervous that she would take her first steps while Daddy was thousands of miles away. (Luckily for Daddy, she waited until we got back.)
The girls were so excited to see Daddy. He picked us up from the airport with flowers in hand. As soon as Kylie saw Daddy standing at the bottom of the escalator she turned to me and shouted, "Mommy, Daddy brought you flowers!" and then she did her cute scrunched nose, shrugged shoulder giggle. (Love that girl) The next day, Mike took the day off of work so that he could spend some much needed time with his girls. Ky and Em were his little shadows all day. You could completely see how much they missed him. And Emily was so excited to show Daddy her new tricks and how close she was to walking. It was a very good day.
