Sleepless in Puerto

is arriving 5:30A.M. on the earliest Cebu Pacific flight tomorrow.  

The kids and I have planned it.  Because we missed him SO SO SO much, we're heading straight to White Fence Country Cafe for some REAL crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy waffles, hash browns, pancakes, sausages.... 


By the way, they also have really GOOD pizza! 


Really good thin crust pizza happily served with Parmesan cheese and hot chili flakes!! (Their menu is online.)


But I digress. 

They've never been separated from him this long before.  It's been a record-breaking two months. This week the kids  had a countdown. 


And a "Welcome home, Daddy!" sign in the dining room! 


They'd probably sleep early tonight because we had a busy day in town - dentist appointment, piano lessons, math tutorials and grocery shopping.  We had an early dinner and were ready to sleep before 8:00p.m.  We said our prayers and they were knocked out by 8:30pm!  (Ah, if only every night would be like this! ). I enjoyed the quiet time doing some paperwork till about 11:30p.m..... then... N walked out of his room wiide awake.  He watched me work, and a few minutes later, E came out too.... 

So, at 1:15a.m., they're snacking on some cookies and milk while I pretend to sleep so they'll follow soon.  

At 1:45a.m., they are still hungry and are moving on to the cold taho that we bought this afternoon. 

I can still hear them discussing that in an hour, R will be leaving for NAIA 3.  In another hour or so, he will be boarding the plane on the way to us!  

They doublecheck their alarms and are still talking about biking with Daddy, and going to te beach with Daddy, watching.  X-Men and Maleficient with Daddy, and joking with Daddy, and laughing with Daddy....  

I have to sleep now.
