Round 2 has Started

The Girls and I survived the week last week without Daddy, but it definitely had its rough points - sister induced injuries, arguing, yelling, etc. What can I say? They missed him, and they each have their unique ways of showing it. Kat and Ellie get on each others nerves. Kat gets annoyed at everything anyone does. Dani is the calm one and she will just look at pictures of Daddy and give kisses. But despite it all, we did make it through the week, and enjoyed Daddy arriving home late Saturday night. And we enjoyed his company all day Sunday.

But Monday rolls around, and off he goes again. Took off this afternoon for 4 days in Ottawa. He has his Promotion board hearing tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon, and an unrelated meeting (for his current) job on Thursday. So a definitely laid back trip compared to last week. He will actually be able to rest a little, meet up with some friends in Ottawa, and meet up with some
past coworkers/boss.

So i have my fingers crossed that this week will go better than last week. It's only 4 bedtimes, and then the girls have him back at bedtime on Friday.

On an unrelated matter.. I cut Ellie's hair last night. She has been wanting it cut for a long time now, but i can admit, i was scared to get it cut because i just adore her curls. And since she was more concerned about length, I thought i would just snip a little off.

Before :

and AFTER :
I still have to get a pic with the hair dry. Looks good though. Much fuller. I'm still a little shocked at myself for doing that. It was a complete spur of the moment decision. But she is happy and really that is all that matters!
