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!"
