church service

Today was an emotional and interesting day. Dallas is almost ready to play from his (completely torn in two hamstring injury) and yesterday, they told him it would be a week before he'd be playing. Then, last night, when we pick him up they told him to go to Arizona to go ahead and get in at bats before playing. By "go ahead and go" they meant, today, on a noon flight. Ugh.

This one hit us so hard. It's not the being alone part, it's the "being apart" part. We've only been away from each other about a month in the entire last year. I don't know why but this hit Dallas and I so bad. We were only going to be apart 4 days from when we got out here until we leave in July, so this put a wrench in our plans. We dropped him off (the saddest Daddy you have ever seen) and Reese kept saying, "He's just going to Zona, he'll be back." Then, we headed to church. As soon as we got in the car, she said, "Yay, now we get to go pick up Daddy!!" Uhm, no.

Church was great, though. We went to a huge non denominational church by ourselves this morning. It was hard for me to drop Reese off in sunday school where she knows no one, but she literally introduced herself to her teacher, Mrs. Dione and said "Bye, Mommy!!" I sat in the service (which was great) and 1 hour and 20 minutes later went to get the little stinker. She ran across the room for me. They said she was great. She was so excited. She told me she had crackers, made friends, played on the playground. Hysterical. She's my little social butterfly.

We ran a few errands today and then headed home. I'm sure I'll be up at 4 am drinking diet coke with a "parent trap" style alarm system set up for us in this house.

Here's a few pics before church and the airport...Not so happy about my camera...

Her serious face...

She insisted on wearing her backpack to church...

"No more pics, mama!!"

And finally happy girl...

On the way into her class she said, "Yay! I get to see Sadie, Abbey & Brooklyn!!" Then, she said, "Mama, I'll tell Mrs. Teresa when I have to toot."

So hard to explain to her that this was church but not her church. She did so good though!

We're just here in Sac, missing Daddy!!
