Where's Daddy?

At 3:00am Paul and Ethan left for a missions trip to Italy. In all the excitement I forgot to take a picture of them all duded-up with their backpacks and passports! Needless to say they were as prepared as possible and excited to go!

One of the morning routines at the Standen home on a normal day, is when Nora wakes up she sits in bed with Paul until he feels like he is ready to get up. This morning when I brought her in to sit in bed she kept looking over to where Paul usually is. It was sad and adorable at the same time. I took a few pictures in hopes to capture the moment.

That is Paul's grungy pillow...he won't let me get rid of it...says he sleeps better with it! Oh well, I try to pick my battles and evidently it reminds Nora of her Daddy so it's worth it in the end.
