Missing Tom again . . .

Tom is back in California filming again. It was great having him home for a while, but it really makes it harder having him go again. He will be finished filming by the second week of August. I am so excited for him. It really is a great adventure. But it is hard not having him home. The girls have made "Dad Pillows" with our big pillows dressed up in Tom's PJs and cologne. They both carry them around at night. They are pretty sweet and silly. It is funny, Sophie normally refuses to say prayers at night, she always asks for someone else to say them for her -- But when Tom is out of town, she is the first one to say her prayers. The subject is always the same and always about keeping her dad safe and to bring him home soon. I asked her what about praying about me? she said "Nope - you are home and can say one for yourself"

Sophie is really a character, she is so different than Emma. Emma is very sensitive and tender. Sophie is more WYSIWYG = Pronounced Wissywig (it is a computer acronym for "What you see is what you get")

Tom calls Sophie his "dirt fairy" and she is usually proud of it, but a couple months ago she came in from the backyard and told Tom that she is NOT a fairy not even a dirt one, she is a buffalo! When Tom asked her why she explained to him: "Dad, faires can fly and I have been jumping off the deck all day and I just keep falling on my knees, I can't fly so I have to be a buffalo!"

Oh my gosh...I am so happy you came to see my blog and even left a comment. Yay! I only read the first entry and had to comment immediately and I bet if I read your other posts all my questions will be answered. But Where is Tom? Is he becoming the Movie Star he always was in my heart? What is going on with you guys. We miss you too. Jaxynn still asks about Emma but I wasn't sure if you guys liked us anymore...sorry about that. We love your family and Sophie sounds so big and fun. Call us. I would love to get together. We miss you guys.

Wow!!! Your a blogger. So glad I have a better way to stalk you guys. Can't wait for you to get your Tom back. He is a movie star in my heart too. I think Julie convinced me of it.

This spring Tom had an opportunity to audition for a movie being filmed near San Jose, CA. It sounded like a fun project - so he flew out. He got the part for the leading man. It is a techno thriller. He has been filming most of July, with a break for mine and Sophie's Birthdays and the 4th of July. He should be done filming by mid August. Right now, he has a couple more projects lined up for the fall. We don't really know where this will take us, but it will be a fun ride!

yes - I have finally started blogging - I am trying to keep in touch with my family and friends that have moved away. (and being alone at night has given me more time to post;-) I am so glad to hear from you both!
