"My daddy"

A few days ago Maya and I were at my friend, Afton's house, who had found some old toys that were still in perfect condition that had never been opened. One of them happened to be 2 NBA figurines perfectly packaged and Maya spotted them....next thing I hear is "daddy, daddy, my daddy!!!" Maya was trying to tear open the package to get to her "daddy" and ran up to me to help her. With Afton's permission, Maya tore into that package and carried her "daddy" around with such pride. Ever since then we cannot go anywhere without her "daddy." She even sleeps with them, reads books with them, and takes a bath with her "daddy." On Saturday morning when we were walking out the door and she stopped dead in her tracks and ran back inside screaming "my daddy, my daddy...." and after coming back with both of her figurines in hand she was a happy girl, grinning from ear to ear, I had to take some pictures.

To answer all ur questions, yes Isaac LOVED it, just made him miss her more too though :( She tells him all about it everytime we talk to him on the phone. So precious. We are soo excited for daddy to come home, the update these days is he will be here within the next 2 weeks b/c his team is having problems and be here for a couple weeks before heading to Montgomery for a summer team, more details to come as we work them out :)
