Sweet but Sad

Just before Brad left I came up with a project that I thought may be helpful during the deployment. Each of the girls took turns with Daddy making their handprint and footprints. Then I took a photo of their creation and I framed it and put this photo in the frame as well.

Each girl has their picture hanging over their bed, or crib. The other night I was kissing and hugging the girls goodnight when Baileigh went to the picture and tickled Daddy's foot and gave his hand print a high five.
Now each night when they are getting in bed one of them will ask "are we going to tickle Daddy tonight or give him a high five?" They also blow him a kiss too. It's the sweetest thing to watch, and incredibly sad.

The deployment will come to an end --eventually; the sentimental value of these hands and feet will be in your hearts for a lifetime. What a wonderful reminder of how BIG an impact Daddy can have in the lives of his beautiful girls!! Love, Nana
