Family Week...

I think we all got good and

spoiled

having Daddy home for a whole week!

It's hard for everyone that

daddy works out of town all week...

but it does make us

appreciate and cherish time

together

a little more.

 Normally every winter

Jon has some

'slow time'

at work and is able to be home a little more often.

That's not the case this year...

so maybe it's a

good think I had to take it easy

all week so

Jon had to take time off!

Jon is a very hard worker...

he works physical hard work

from before the sun is up till after it's set.

So he needed a break too!

 This was a good week for Jon to be home...

we were able to

celebrate Valentines day together...

and celebrate the beginning of

Lent together.

I don't think we have ever attended

Ash Wednesday services together!

{I am giving up some nightly computer time

and replacing it with journal time!}

 The whole purpose of the week off

was to let my back heal...

I'm afraid that it hasn't worked too well.

I have one more week of taking it easy...

with instructions of

no lifting, bending or pivoting.

{yeah right, I'm a mother!}

So this week will be tough one,

as Jon is now back to work!

On Friday we will decide if I need another shot

  to get me back to normal!

{cross your fingers that doesn't need to happen!}

 This week will be a boring one.

We will be missing Daddy like crazy.

We can't go anywhere unless I have

someone come help us

get out to the van

since I can't lift the carseat.

I went to town a

few days ago and got plenty of

projects to keep us busy.

{I hope!}

 I think we made the most of our week

together.

My favorite was every morning when the kids

had to ask if

Daddy was home or at work...

then had to go running into the bedroom

and check to make sure

daddy was indeed at home!

My kids are lucky to have such a

good Daddy...
