Hi everyone. Scott called us last Friday night around 7:00 to tell us he was an hour and a half from home! We didn't expect to see him for several weeks because of his Saturday class and simulator schedule. Altus Air Force Base lost power during a severe storm last Thursday night, so his Saturday schedule was canceled and the base didn't expect to get power for several days. Lucky for us, Scott decided to come home instead of sticking around the base with no power.
Emma was so excited to see her dad, especially since she didn't expect it. Saturday, we went to a living history museum with Emma's former kindergarten class. They usually have their end of the year field trip a couple of weeks after graduation to coincide with the children's festival at this museum near Santa Fe. We had a great time and enjoyed having Scott there with us. We didn't like having to say good-bye to Emma's teachers and friends. She has blossomed so much at her Montessori school over the past 3 years. The teachers and staff there are so caring and professional. We love you all and will miss you so much.
On the down side, Emma was devastated when Scott had to leave on Sunday afternoon to go back to Altus. She cried for an hour and I couldn't console her--it was heart breaking. She LOVES her daddy so much. Ava was so sweet and was very concerned about Emma's tears. She just hugged Emma and looked at her, like "it's okay". These occasional weekend visits from dad are bitter sweet!
