oh Lydia

Jake finally got home later on Saturday night.
The girls really really really missed their daddy.
Even the little girls knew he was gone, that's a first for them.
Sophie would look out the window and ask, "Daddy outside? Where's daddy? Outside?"
ugh.
Nora would whine....:-)....more than usual....:-)
Samantha just gets super ultra sensitive, in both directions.
But Lydia made us both melt to the floor in a pool of butter yesterday.
Jake was walking around the house picking up shoes....a four times a day activity around here.
Lydia was following, as close as she could get.
Jake asked her what she was doing with a chuckle and this was her response:

brace yourself:

"I'm just following you around because I missed you while you were in Texas daddy"

She's four.

He immediatly stopped picking up shoes and picked her up instead.

To comment on the shoe part of this post, we just packed up all but one pair of shoes for each child because of this very thing....now there can only be a maximum 10 shoes left outside rather than 100!
