For Your Veiwing Pleasure

Sense Shaun is gone a lot these days with school I try to take as many little videos of Lillian as possible. Last week he did not see her for FIVE straight days, so he really loved coming home and watching these quick clips of Lillian playing, talking and bossing Moxie around. This video was his favorite for some reason. He kept watching it over and over again.

*oh, I took this video with my camera. And right in the beginning of this video Lillian says "No cheese" because she thinks I am trying to take a picture and she doesn't want to say cheese. She is so funny these days.

Shaun has been working so hard for our family and I am so proud of him. Honestly, I do not know how he does it all. He leaves our house before 6:00 am, works all day, then goes to class or the library and is rarely home before 9:00 or 10:00 pm. And right when he walks in the door, after peaking in on a sleeping Lillian, he asks me "What can I do to help you?". He has never once complained, moped or let himself get frustrated over his intense schedule. As hard as juggling work, school and family has been I know that the toughest thing for Shaun has been missing Lillian. Especially now that she has really started to notice his absences. She will bring me my cell phone and say, "Call Dada". Or ask me, "Dada come home?". The funniest thing she does is in the mornings, she will wake-up and walk around the house yelling, "Dada, Dada, Dada". It is so cute! Whenever she says, "Dada come home" I always just tell her that Daddy loves us very much and working hard for our family. She might not understand that now, but in the years to come I know she will understand and appreciate his sacrifices.

I love the look of shock when moxie gets the cracker... followed by a quick and to-the-point scolding. She's so grown up :)
