Today, the cool winds of fall started blowing and the tempertures began falling. As we sat inside, we were grateful for the warmth of the house. As we stepped outside to head to soccer practice, we were grateful for the warmth of our clothes. We watched as people shivered as they waited for the bus or walked to the store. We were grateful to be riding in our truck. On the way to practice, we talked about the fact that we were missing D. We were grateful that we had been able to talk to him earlier in the day.…

Wordless Wednesday
D is on his way home (finally), so I’ll be taking a blogging break while he’s here. We don’t want to waste any of our precious moments together during this special time. I’ll be back once we’ve bid him farewell. I’ll still be checking my email, so if you need to contact me, you can just shoot me an email. Munchkin doesn’t know that he’s on his way home, so it will be a big surprise for her. She just knew that he’d be home either today or tomorrow. She just figures that he’ll be home tomorrow since it’s already…
