With me being gone 7 out of the last 14 days, each time I come home Isabelle seems to have a new favorite toy, a new antic and several new words all thanks to Michael, Grandmama and Lisa. Without those three at home with and for our little one, I would not feel as comfortable traveling as much as I have been/do. Now don't get me wrong, I would much rather be at home than traveling but duty calls and luckily its not every month, although recently it seems to be that way. You all know how much I rave about my Mom, Grandmama, and Lisa but I have not yet raved about one person who deserves it most...Michael, aka: Papabear.
Isabelle at the theatre with her Papa... "Is this thing on?"
Michael is an awesome Dad when we are all home and even more so when I am gone. Not only does he do a great job holding down the fort when I am away (not that I am Captain of the house or anything...wait, who are we kidding here? I am the Queen! LOL!) but part of Isabelle's and his morning routine, whether I am at home or away and whether I can answer my cell or not, includes calling me to say "good morning", "I love you" (which is actually "wuv woo") and "bye bye". Needless to say, this perks up my morning instantaneously. And at night, I always get a phone call right before bedtime so Isabelle can say "nah night" to me. Here is a message that was left on my cell phone this past Monday morning while I was at a meeting in Delaware, which I shared with my Dad and our client at lunch and it brought a smile to their faces too:

He will send a pic and/or text that he is "on a date with a beautiful blond" or that "it", yes that is another one of Isabelle's nick names, "is attacking him". When I am away it makes me miss her more but I don't want that to stop him from sending them!
Don't you just love the outfit...yes, I was away :)

Michael started a play date with a friend from the theatre and his little girl, Jenna. On Wednesday mornings at 10, they meet at the Summit Park to let the girls run around crazy...OK, so it may not be totally crazy just yet but they are having a blast! He has stayed up all night with her when she was sick and I wasn't home and stays up with her even when I am home so I can get some sleep. He keeps her busy all the time, teaching her all sorts of new things which frankly, I am surprised those 2 haven't gotten into tons of trouble yet...I am just waiting for that. She is his little "Padawan" or "Jedi Apprentice" that he is taking to the dark side unless I can help it :)

Michael,
Although at times it may go unsaid, I feel so grateful to have you in my life and thank you for being such a wonderful Dad and husband. I love you.
