A Nice Surprise

So, we went to bed Tuesday night pretty much following the same routine as every night. When we woke up at 7am the next morning, I figured Daniel was going to start getting ready for work. Instead, he was on the computer and listening to the news. Ok, not so unusual...But when I said, "Ah, Hun, you should just stay home today." He said, "Okay." I thought he was joking and I proceeded with our morning routine. After about 30 mins, I said, "Aren't you going to get ready for work?"
"Nope, I'm not going, remember."
"Yeah, right. You wont skip work unless there is some logical reason for it."
"Yeah, like what?"
"If you're sick, if you really need to cram for a final exam, if I'm sick..and that's stretching it."
"Or if the doctor isn't going to work today, so I don't have to either."
"What? You're really not going?"
" Surprise!"

What followed was a bunch of squeals from me and jumping up and down a few times. Then we had a fun relaxing day with Daniel. Ahhh, it was nice. Lily enjoyed it just as much. She loves it when Dad gets to be with her more.

One of her attempts at sitting up.

Gotta love that smile.

This was one of her miracle naps...2 hours!

Let's go for a walk!

Daniel insists on sporting the shorts since it's April and 40 degrees.

Despite the clouds, a nice Alaskan sunset.
