Surprise Visit

 On Wednesday night, David surprised us by walking in the door!!!  We weren't planning on seeing him until mid-December, so this was a HUGE and exciting shock!  Taylor was up a bit past his bedtime and was a little confused... :)  He got really hyper and smiley and happy pretty quickly though.

 Kyla missed her Daddy SO much.  Earlier in the day she had been crying and told me, "I don't want a mommy!  I just want my Daddy..."  Then when I told her we'd see him at Christmas, she said, "But I want him to see Halloween!"  It was heartbreaking, so he showed up just at the right time.

 This little girl is already very different even though it's only been 6 weeks:

 Our family drove the Alpine Loop together, it was gorgeous!

I loved hearing David play and sing!

 The kids enjoyed getting some rambunctious throwing around time with David!

 David and Lilia reconnected a bit.  She just kept staring at him like she thought she knew who he was but couldn't quite place him...

We got to go on a date to the BYU-USU game on Friday night - thanks Uncle Lynn & Aunt Marg for the tickets! 

(And Grandma Cindy & Craig for babysitting)

 David got to take naps with both Ky & Tay:

 And got to wake up to Lilia. :)

I am so grateful for such a sweet and thoughtful husband and for a wonderful 3 days of him that we didn't know we'd have!

 It's just too bad we had to go through saying goodbye all over again...sad!  At least now it's for less time!
