Safe Travels (16/365)

Friday January 20, 2012

Today was a loooong day... Fridays are unusually long because us girls are waiting for Daddy to get home from work.  Today was especially long because Daddy was driving home in a snowstorm.

Not a bad one... We were expecting 6+ inches of fresh snow, but we only got 2 or 3 inches.  Yesterday was warm, so when the temperature dropped again everything froze, and then the snow started falling on top of it.

During the day on Fridays, Ava and I usually clean the house and get it ready for Daddy.  We make a nice hot meal that he can come home to.  Today, we cleaned, brought wood in before the snow came, and made homemade White Chicken Chili - one of Daddy's favorites.

We figured we'd see Daddy right after work, but when he should have been walking in the door, he called and said he hadn't even left yet!  He had accidentally left the headlights on in the car and it sat all day at work with a dead battery... in the cold.  So, he was waiting with a friend to recharge the battery and then he would be on his way.

When Daddy finally walked in the door, us girls were so excited! 

Safe travels, a running vehicle and a hot meal were just what he needed - and we were there with open arms!
