I thought you all might like to share in our joy.
I video-ed on my mighty little Flip video camera when Daniel and the kids first saw each other at my parents house.
Just try not to cry.

This video is after a few minutes had passed and Eliza was in the process of warming up. Thank the Lord for Skype! Daniel and I directly attribute Eliza seeing him and talking to him via Skype to her recognizing and quickly being comfortable with him.

The “reintegration” process has been absolutely seamless. The kids have fallen right back into rhythm with Daddy; the only issue I can see is that they have to learn to trust Daniel again. Trust that’s he’s here to stay… they tend to get a little frantic, asking for him when he leaves the room or to run out to the truck. Especially Eliza.
Right now I am laying on a couch on Columbus AFB in Mississippi watching the Texas/Alabama game with Daniel. We are well on our way back to New Mexico and it has been a wonderful trip thus far. I will write a detailed blog about our trip once it’s over but truly, it has been an amazing time as a family. I am thankful for every minute I sit next to Daniel in our truck. The kids have been complete angels and we have made some great memories.
This is the first time I have been on my computer since Sunday (I KNOW!) so to say blogging has had to take the back seat would be an understatement but this family time minus any distractions has been a blessing. But I am very much looking forward to getting back into a rhythm. I am so much happier and peaceful now… as my brother David said today, I am a “totally different girl!”
And I really am. Daniel does that to me. I’m so thankful for my magnificent husband!
Who knew math could be so funny!

Eve lost her other front tooth last night. I am now officially giggling every time she talks to me.
“Yeth, Ma’am” she says. Love that.
School was such a blast today! Oh, the laughs we had as she and I went through language and reading.
I am so very glad that I have two more children to experience this lack of incisors fun with!
p.s. that wasn’t my kid screaming in the background.
p.p.s. why does Eve use such a random assortment of three fingers?
p.p.p.s. is there anything cuter than no front teeth?
p.p.p.p.s most days homeschooling is da bomb. (i know, that phrase was totally circa 1998. roll with it, please… I’m feeling kinda dorky tonight.)
