Her Daddy will be proud

Since Brad is traveling, it allows me to be a little more "adventurous" during dinner time. Last night I made stuffed bell peppers. Fearing that Allie wouldn't eat, I was surprised when she had 3-4 good bites before moving on to her rice and veggies. So, for dessert, we had an Oreo. When I gave her the cookie, she immediately asked for milk so that she could "Dip cookie" just like her daddy had shown her several weeks ago.



We are missing Daddy very much. Although I am managing just fine, it's the night time that is most difficult. Being alone with Allie and the house reminds me of when my younger brother and I would be alone at night while my mom worked 3rd shift. I didn't sleep well and heard EVERY single creak, crack or noise in the house! Allie did manage to sleep until 5:15 at which point she woke up asking for her daddy. A few minutes later, Brad texted me with a Dunkin' Donuts photo to make me jealous (he's two hours ahead of Mountain time). I have a feeling tonight I'm going to be REALLY tired!! Two nights of no sleep... Just gearing up for the next kid, right?!
