Kevin is home again!

His return trip was uneventful and he brought with him a suitcase full of candy. Yes, that’s right, Kevin spent every last dime in his pocket buying DutyFree candy. I think we have about 12 boxes of bizarre Taiwanese candy stashed in our pantry now. Only Kevin.

When the girls woke up and found him this morning it was quite the love fest. Leina reacted like it was Christmas morning. She ran around in circles gleefully calling his name and telling him how much she missed him and loved him. Kulia was much more direct and to the point. She did not waste any words. When she saw Kev, she merely said “daddy” and then flung herself into his lap. And there she stayed. She followed him to the bathroom. She followed him to the shower. She followed him to the closet. She refused to take her eyes off him for a moment. Last time she let him out of her sight he disappeared for two weeks and she was so not falling for that again! I don’t think Kevin was actually showered, changed and shaved until 11am because he had one or both girls in his arms at all times.

And me? I was in the dog house. Whenever I approached, Kulia would thrust out her little arm and lock it straight blocking my path. Furrowing her brow, she would utter “go!” in her little dictator voice. Sigh. I held that child while she puked and this is the thanks I get??

So all is right in our little household. Thank goodness!
