notes to daddy.

to iowa & back. story one.
the part of the trip we were i was preparing ourselves for most, was to make it without michael. he wasn't able to take the week off so soon after just going back to work, so it was o & me. definitely wished & wished he still could've made it, but i had to prepare myself for the plane rides as solo parent (more on that in story two). we missed daddy the whole time, as did everyone back home, but we survived. and mike even got to kick up his heels a little too...practicing a new hobby/side-job of using a smoker bbq pit & he even threw on his cut-off jean shorts. yes, this is how crazy we get =) so probably with the help of oliver's notes he left around the house & mike sleeping with o's blanky all week...he survived as well. and oliver came back with some new skills...waving hi/bye & constantly babbling "da da da da da".  

they're actually still up, reminding him of how much we love him =)
