Kyle was gone for two weeks in a row for work. Jason and I decided to vacation in Alpine at my parents' house while he was gone rather than be alone. Kyle had been gone for a week in July, but it didn't seem to phase Jason too much. This time, however, I noticed Jason was always missing his daddy. He was obsessed with looking at Kyle's pictures at my parents house and on this blog. Jason said "daddy" all the time. When Kyle came home for a mere 34 hours between trips, Jason was Kyle's side-kick, which was a first; normally he is mine. Jason became alarmed anytime he couldn't see Kyle. I assume he was worried Kyle might leave him again (which proved to be a genuine worry). As Jason watched Kyle drive away for his second trip, he burst into tears (which made Kyle teary as well).
Thankfully we had Grandpa Hunsaker, who Jason calls "Bopa," and other relatives to fill in while Kyle was away. Bopa entertained Jason with his first riding lawn mower ride, JCW french fries, M&Ms, and a trampoline.
Now that Kyle is back for good, Jason continues to be his side-kick, which is just fine with me. Jason asks for daddy first thing in the morning. He prefers to have daddy push him in the shopping cart. The list goes on. We're both very glad daddy is home.

Brynn totally clings to Matt when he's home from his trips, too! It's amazing how much little babies notice the empty spot in the family. Aren't we lucky to have such wonderful husbands where, even if they leave for several days at a time, we can always trust they'll come back? We married good men :)
So cute!!!! We are lucky our kids (not yet for me) have such a great grandpa. How does he like the lawnmower? Why don't you show him more pictures of me so he his my sidekick when we get back? :)
