Alaska

Alaska.  This is where Darryl has been all week and the primary reason I have neglected my blog for the past few days. 

Fun facts about Alaska:

   * High temperature in November is roughly 13 degrees.

   * The sun does not rise until 10am and sets again by 4pm- talk about depressing!

The girls and I are very excited that we get to pick Daddy up at the airport tomorrow.  One thing I have learned from this week on my own is how much easier it has gotten!! The first time Darryl left Madelyn was 3 months old and it was really tough.  The second time she was 4 months old and it was slightly easier (having Grandma around helped a lot too!)  Now that Madelyn is 6 months old, I was amazed at how well this week went.  Do we miss having Daddy around?  Absolutely!! Were there evenings when I was trying to cook dinner, give Zoe a bath, and feed Madelyn at the same time and I thought I was going to lose my mind?  Definitely!  But.... overall we had a great week with just us girls.  And we are extra excited to spend the weekend with all of us together again. :)
