Daddy had duty today..and tomorrow they could be pulling out for 10 days..hopefully it's Tuesday, so we can see Daddy after work tomorrow..but who knows..so we decided to pick up some dinner on our way to see Daddy on his ship. As we walked through the gates to the pier at security..Emma says "mommy this is so exciting"..as if she's never been on a ship before..funny girl.
Anyway, we got to enjoy our meal in the Chief's mess watched some football with Daddy..listened to Connor yell "touch down" and then walked around the ship a bit. Saw Daddy's office, where Emma hung up her picture for Daddy. It was a nice visit, and something we hope to do more often on duty days..it breaks up the day for me..and is a nice change of pace for Allen.
The chairs were too big for Connor..and covered in leather..he enjoyed slip sliding around in it.
You can see Emma's cow picture for Daddy in this picture. She worked hard on it..we even had to have an impromtu anatomy lesson. She thought the uDDers were...well...she has two brothers..I'm sure you can imagine what she thought they were.
AJ and Emma..playing at the table..Emma's looking at her Daddy..she loves him..
Allen..doesn't he take just great photos?!?
Connor..cheesing it up for the camera..he loved those chairs..
AJ and Emma..I love Emma's smile..

Big Wheels..for the "big kid"..

Looks like so much fun. I want to see the mommy in some pictures though!:) Those will be cherished memories for both kids and dad!! Good work, momma....
I loved taking Ethan up to see Mike! And you are right, the guys love it too ... especially when we bring food :-)
I remember those days well! We would get stuck in the sonar space for a couple hours while dh ran around and I kept saying don't touch that to Katherine!!!! It's definitely nice to go see them at least a little bit when they are gone for 24 hrs...
Oh my gosh, Christy! What a sweet evening! You have SUCH a beautiful family and Emma has a lovely smile... she sure looks like her mommy :) Love you, Chicky!
