daddy's shadow....

I have noticed the past couple of months that Landon has gotten quite attached to his daddy. With Ryan being home for 2 weeks for Thanksgiving and 3 weeks for Christmas the time Ryan has been gone has been hard on the boys but especially for Landon. Maybe it's because he is older and now understands and feels Ryan's absence during the week. I find him asking "where's my daddy??" and answering himself "he's at work" or crying for him at bedtime or when he is in trouble more than he use to. He is always so excited when Ryan comes home and he can't wait for their many adventures during playtime or for their quite time together reading his favorite books. You know you are missed when you come home and your son jumps into your arms, hugs you will all his might with a peaceful smile on his face....it always makes me smile and bring tears into my eyes. Ryan, Thank you for all you do for us each and every hour of the day. We all love you sooooo much!
