D.O.D. Daddies On Duty

Baby Emma has arrived!  She is the sweetest thing!  So sweet we can't bear to leave, staying an extra day seems like the right thing to do!  I mean, just look at her!

Now you can clearly see why we can't leave yet!  We are all in love!  There is a story to explain the title of this blog...  I believe it will be the first of many D.O.D. stories too because with daddies like Nick and Scott (who are two of the very best I've ever seen) how can you not have a few epic tales to tell.

  Heather and I went out to run a few errands.  Emma had been fed and was sleeping, as was Liam.  Annabelle was up and the daddies were in charge.  

We come home about a hour and a half later to find the back door locked, AB lying on the floor watching a movie, Emma in the bouncy seat fast asleep, Liam still asleep upstairs, the monitor on,  but no daddies?

Yep, we wanted an explanation.  Good news for us, Annabelle always has one, so, "Annabelle where is Daddy and Uncle Scottie?"  

AB:  "Oh, They are in the basement doing their working out exercises.  They told me to watch this movie, and listen to hear if Baby Emma or Liam cried.  If they cry I have to tell them.  I am in charge."

In charge.  Annabelle, loves to feel in charge so she was very excited to step up to the plate for her Uncle and Daddy.  She was beaming and clearly had matters under control.  She went as far as to tell us that Emma made a few noises but when she tip-toed over to the baby bed her eyes were still closed.  As this explanation is taking place up walks Daddy and Uncle Scottie- laughing.  Obviously, they felt the situation was well under control and felt they were pretty smart to implement it.

AB  later stated that it was the best day EVER- She got to play with Liam, go to the pool, have no nap, and SHE WAS IN CHARGE!  Pretty exciting stuff!  lol-  I'm sure there will be so many more D.O.D. episodes... because these two daddies are never lacking a good story!  When we visit it seems we laugh so hard at times our stomachs hurt.  We are so lucky to have one another.  I sometimes have to pinch myself.  Best Friends and Family all at the same time.  It's fun to think about our families growing together even more as our children build their relationships.  Heather and Scott- Liam and Emma, We love you more than words can explain.  When we leave tomorrow, know that we leave a part of our hearts here with you always...
