Quality time, Daddy style

Back at the end of AM2’s school year at her precious little Christian Elementary School she had to make a book for her dad in anticipation of Father’s Day. On the page where it said, “my dad likes…,.” She wrote “to sleep.” Unfortunately that is what she sees from her little seven year old eyes. However, what she doesn’t see is the 12-24 hours a day that he works in his service for his country. He doesn’t complain about it, which is strange since he complains about almost everything else. So that brings us to this past weekend. He had worked around the astounding number of 80 hrs this week which means, you guess it he was tired. Couple that with children who weren’t feeling 100% normal and that left me somewhere between being a referee and a paramedic.

In the picture she laid beside him, pulled up her shirt a little and closed her eyes. She then said, "Mommy take a picture."
