When Daddy comes home from a trip, the Fipps' house becomes Party Zone. The girls get to stay up late to wait for Daddy, and we always stand at the window and watch for him to pull up in the driveway. Then, the girls go running down the sidewalk in their pajamas to give Daddy a huge hug. Of course, the first thing out of Maggie's mouth is: "I missed you. What's in that bag? Is it something for me?!" This time, Rob brought Maggie some dress-up rings, and he brought Madeline some wind-up chattering teeth. Maggie was so excited about the rings, but Madeline is still not sure what she thinks about the teeth (An appropriate gift, since Madeline is getting in her eye teeth, and is pretty cranky.) And of course, Daddy brought back enough candy to last until Christmas! I am definitely glad to have my wonderful husband back.
