Observations from the visit home

After a long 12 weeks, I finally got my baby home during the Holiday. She slept in her own bed, took the longest showers in history and had her favorite breakfast request every morning. She caught up with old friends and again spent way too much time away from home, but at least she was under my roof again at night.

It’s funny I thought I was getting used to her being away from home, however, I found that I slept much better with her in her own bed at home. I am so looking forward to Christmas this year more now than ever before so I can have my kids home yet again.

She has changed, of course, she has matured. She tells jokes and stories now without "bleeping" out all the bad words and as she tells us of some of the things that her and her friends do, I recall doing with my friends at her age. Although she’s growing up she is still and will always be my “little girl�.
