Dec 17th - Dad Arrives

The kids really missed their Dad. Owen in particular. About a week after we had been at my Mum's, Owen just could not go to sleep. He just keep crying and crying. It was after 9:30pm and my Mum and I were desperate to get him settled. Finally my mum realized that he missed his Dad and gave him a framed picture of Chris reading to all the kids that was in the living room. He stopped crying, took the picture to bed, talked to it for a while, sang to it for a while and then went to sleep. The next day Mum laminated the picture for Owen. Owen could not go to bed without it until Chris arrived. This of course put a big smile on Chris's face. Who doesn't want to be loved by their kids!!

Chris finally arrived on December 17th, over 2 weeks since we arrive. The kids were soooo... excited to see their Dad!!

Here they are at Devonport airport watching the plane taxi to the terminal.


Together at last!
