while mommy is away

I love getting texts with pictures of the girls when I'm out of town because I really do miss them. Evidently Addison missed me too. She called me often to tell me so. But I bet they weren't missing me when they were having milkshakes around dinner time.

Michael did a really good job of getting them out and about all weekend. They even had a picnic at the park.

But at one point they just didn't want to go anywhere. They were having too much fun playing in the closet.

Our nephew recently moved close to attend college and came to visit for the weekend. Michael probably won't admit it, but I'm sure it was nice to have the extra hands. They took the girls to the alligator farm on Monday. Because it was slow the employees let the girls pet the reptiles for free rather than charging them.

There is plexiglass here that you can't see. I love Morgan's reaction. "Get me away from these things."

I still kiss my babies every night before I go to bed. This made me miss them even more.

They both had such a good weekend with Daddy, but they were happy to see me. I got big hugs and kisses and requests to color as soon as I walked in the door. Made my day.
