So while I'm getting the kids ready for bed, telling them to take their sleeping clothes out, get ready for a bath, don't forget your underwear (I Know!), and finally putting them to bed... In this process my son walks past me and gives my husband a kiss telling him good night and I said: "Aaron...what about mommy?!" while walking away he says: "good night mommy!"
Now... I can't say that my feelings wasn't a little bruised...it was! but after thinking about it, My kids haven't seen their daddy in months. He just came back from a 6 month deployment from Afghanistan and the kids are happy to have him back. My sweet daughter came over and gave us both a kiss good night, but (a joke that I like to tell...)
when daddy's home... mommy is chopped liver!
Below is some of our home coming pictures a photographer named Rachel from Momentary Photography who came down from Charleston, SC (click the link for more information on her business) and took photos of us from a military program called: Operation Love Reunited It is a program that offers FREE professional photography sessions to military families and members who are getting ready to deploy, who are currently deployed, or those who are coming home. click the link for more information!
SOOO happy to have his daddy back!
So its moments like this where I don't mind being ignored, I don't mind the sleepiest nights when they have colds or sick, the hard moments where they really miss daddy and they just need to hear his voice, moments where I am the only one that understand how they feel...I don't mind the little sacrifices I make for this moment of when he is COMING HOME... it makes a HUGE difference in the end! In seeing the wild hair and huge smiles, makes it ALL worth it!
Stay tuned for part 2!
