The kids saw their great-grandparents and grandparents this weekend.
They had a blast at Worlds of Fun and the nature center, and then came
the long drive back. They were ready to get home, so when we learned
that Huts’ grandfather has passed away, we decided to keep the kids home
and Huts went alone. So, for two days, the kids had no daddy to call
on. They were remarkably calm and good natured, though they did sleep
with me one night. Eli, of course, missed his dad the most. The first
thing he told Huts on the phone was he loved and missed him. He was
bound and determined to stay up last night and see his daddy. He made it
and seemed happy this morning that everything was back to normal.
