Just Because...

Brandon has been working like a crazy man lately, waking up early, coming home for dinner and swim, and then going back. Some nights he has been gone until 2 am and then starting all over again a few hours later. On top of the little sleep, he has been working with one really injured foot (He dropped a heavy jack on his big foot and it has turned colors no toe should turn).
Brandon told us when he would be home for the night at 4pm when leaving for work yesterday. Melanie was so excited, and so was I! We decided right away that we would throw a party for him to show him how much we love him. I had Melanie call up dad and ask him a bunch of questions, including favorite food (hotdogs), favorite color (green), favorite dessert (ice cream), favorite animal (giraffe). The hot dog answer threw me off because I thought he hated hot dogs... so I decided to make chili as well.Turns out he said pasta, but it was too late by then. But we still had a fun time.
Anna makes the best party hats and has inspired me to try harder at mine. We had fun with these.
We never got to eat the dessert because the girls ate way too slow and we had to run to swim lessons. Perhaps we'll serve it tonight.
We love you, Dad!!!
