New Year's day I drove to Alma and visited Emily and Leyla! Derek has just been deployed to Afghanistan again, so Em is spending a little time with her parents while she is still on maternity leave. I give major props to Em, because being a mom seems like incredibly tough work. She is so strong! One of my favorite parts of spending time with this little family was story time. Em and I read Leyla a couple of books before her naps. The best part though was when Em played an iPod recording of Derek reading a story. Em turned the pages quietly as Leyla looked at the pages and heard daddy reading.
I turned my head into the bed and pretended to snooze but instead squeezed out a few tears. How sweet is that moment!!!
