Daddy's Special Book

First, I originally did this blog for family and friends, that hasn't changed but now its especially for frank due to his deployment. I'm going to try and write on my blog everyday, even if its just everyday stuff or just one picture with no words. I want him to see what we do on a daily basis, don't get me wrong, there might be a few days i might miss due to unforeseen circumstances like sickness or what not. So if you see a picture with no words or story behind it, its just for frank to see what we did today :) So now to my blog... Some of you might not know that before frank left he did a recordable book of The Night Before Christmas which was generously given to him by our FRG. So a few days before he left, he recorded the story for our kiddo's. Tonight I was in the living room cleaning up around bed time and i heard daddy's voice coming from Jenna's room which of course was the book. Its funny how my heart skips when i heard his voice even though i know its a recording. So anyways.. Something tells me to just grab the camera and go back there to snap a few pics and to my surprise they were all gathered around the book watching it intently,listening to every word. Usually Nathan starts to try and turn the page or steal it but today they just listened. I think at that very minute it made me realize that they miss him more than i knew and it was comforting for them to hear his voice. It was a sad but beautiful moment for me because usually daddy is really there before bed reading them a story. At first i couldn't go anywhere near that book because even just seeing it would make me cry but now it brings me and the kids much joy and comfort. We miss you daddy and enjoy the pics....
