Surprise! (Well, Sort of . . . )

Wes attempted to surprise us with a short visit home over his four day weekend for Columbus Day. I knew he was coming, but the kids didn't. He will tell you it's because I checked his e-mail, but really, it's because he talks too much! I only checked his e-mail the night before he came to MAKE SURE it was for real. I had suspected for a few weeks though.We had a wonderful weekend together! It was so good to see the kids hang out with him. When Halley first saw him she was a little confused, but then she realized it was DADDY, and she didn't want to let go of him. She absolutely adores her dad. She is the one I worry about the most with him being gone because she doesn't really understand the concept of time and that he'll be back.
I wasn't here when Bradley and Connor saw him, but apparently Bradley wasn't phased at all. He just said, "Hey Dad, I'm getting ready to go to school." Silly boy . . .
And Connor, well, he still talks about how he was totally surprised and confused. He makes this funny, "Huh?" face to explain it. It's hilarious.This is a picture of the boys and Wes making coffee cake. They ask me to do this with them every weekend, and I usually tell them it's Daddy's job to make yummy breakfasts. Mom just does cereal! He he he . . .
These are the only pictures I took while he was here. We didn't really do anything special - just spent time together as a family - which was absolutely AWESOME!!
