Visit From Dad

Ben actually asked the other day, "Is Daddy coming back?" In fact, Theo was able to come home for a few hours yesterday, however he was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open. He was able to open his mouth to eat my first pot of homemade chili, and say "yum." He sat outside with us for a little while, but he actually fell asleep on the lawn at one point. He played with the kids inside, and fell asleep in the chair, and on the living room floor. Finally, at 6pm I told him to take Hunter (who was equaly irritable and tired from no afternoon nap) and go to sleep. So, while Dad was home, we really didn't get to see him, but he did get some obvisouly much needed rest, a good shower, & a clean load of laundry to take back up to work with him.

Here are a few shots from last night:

Ben, as he monopolizes the sandbox.





Yeah, I think he might be asleep in this picture. Teehee.
Here, he comtemplates sleep, and looks a lot like Hunter when he pouts. :) Love you honey! Hope we get to see you soon again! (P.S. Don't my plants look purty?)

Chili? You made chili and didn't make a post about it?

Come on, Jamie. Hook a sister up with some food porn!

Jamie... I have a great recipe for chili - it's actually the one food I can make really well - and it's a pretty good "light" recipe! Let me know if you want it:)

I'd love both your recipes, ladies. Leena, I know you probably have hundreds... give me a variety. Amy, I'd love a light recipe, Lord knows I could use it! Hehe.
