time just zips on by!

wed am driving to preschool. my wipers broke. in the middle of a down pour...chris was in ottawa and for some freakish reason i just kept on driving and wasn't scared

scooter boy scoots to get the mail

which we do pick up, open and leave in the box. ha

nate wanted to play in the park so i stuffed the mail back in, locked it and left it

loving his wheels

so we get to the park and nate sees the bench but it was flipped over so he tells me "mom, don't worry. i will fix it for you so you can sit on it and watch me play. i am the fixer man. daddy's not here so i will fix it"

and off he goes

lifting, grunting and talking the whole time 'don't worry mom. i will get it for you"

then he made sure it was ok, tested it out for me and i was able to sit on the bench and watch him play ohhhh for about 1 min....then i joined him

remember the days that he only stood at this climbing wall. now he's all over it. sniff, sniff

daddy came home!

nae and i (mostly nate) made this welcome home sign for chris. nate picked the paper, tapped it, painted it, choose sticks because "he needed them" (that was his idea) then painted them. the only thing i did was write out welcome home daddy. i would have had nate do that but we ran out of time


anyways. we get to the airport and i meet this pilot who's there to pick up his wife, we chat and he told me stories of flying all over the world. then he said "in all my yrs of flying and being gone for weeks and months on end, i never once was greeted at the air port by my daughters holding a sign" he wiped his eyes


when chris came through the gate nate was upfront (i did not take pics i wanted to watch) and i am not kidding, there was a general "awww-ness" that filled the place


as we walked away i heard the pilot say to the ppl around him "his daddy was only gone for 4 days"


nate missed chris a lot. it made me happy to see that


one last funny. when nate gets too detailed in his questions and i no longer have the answers or want to talk (nate non stop talks all. day. long) i say to nate "technical question" and we wait for chris to come home to ask and answer nate's non ending questions


so. on monday we leave the air post and nate got all upset....i asked him what the problem was and he cries "i have no one to answer my technical questions!" so i told him we would write them down and ask daddy


some of them were


"how do yo make a window?"

"how does the antibacterial spray kill the germs"

"why is the center of the world hot?

seriously


oh nate also told me this week

"my skin gets goose bumps bec i am cold and it warms me up"

" the cart in the dollar store has the large stick on it so i can't take it out of the store"

"i am fixing your stool so i made cement and now it's getting hard so i am visiting with you while it gets ready. i need to make a solid foundation to build on. the cement is really hard. it will work. ok, the cement is ready now"

"i live in n.b which is beside quebec"

"zero is the number 0 that looks like an o, it means nothing"

yeah....takes after me....not!


then we had nate practice for disney by pulling chris's luggage. which he did. he's so ready for the trip and so am i!!!!


there is my long over due update

So cute! Chris is blessed to have a son and wife like you and Nate!
It is funny the stuff that little ones come up with. Keep writing them down.

Awww, LOVE the sign!
That is why I change my flights so that Quinn can pick me up at the airport, even if I was only gone a day or 2...
