Blink and he's gone

It was a great week w/MiB and we celebrated LilBlue's birthday all weekend, we enjoyed just being together and did lots of hanging out. I think, well, I know, we did a lot of eating too, way too much really but it was all good, especially that blueberry cheesecake and shrimp scampi! Anyway, it was a week that passed way to quickly for me, he was here and gone before we knew it. Hopefully, the next trip will not be too far off. It was nice that my "honey do" list was completed, but I am already starting another one for his next visit =) We have had many separations with our military lifestyle and the goodbyes never get any easier...

Waiting to go eat!

At Red Lobster, waiting for our food. I think they were on the receiving end of some unwanted father talk...but they endulged him, afterall, they were a captive audience at this point.

The Bud doesn't do seafood, but she tried anyway...he went with chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks, while the rest of us had various forms of shrimp.

Papa Smurf update: another surgery has been scheduled for 4 Feb in KC, MO. Once he has recovered from this latest surgery, the radiation treatments begin, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. He is feeling better then he has in quite some time and enjoying the littles.
