The other night we were lucky enough to sit down as a family. As I was getting every one's plates ready this is the conversation that I stopped to ease drop on.
Alyse: Daddy, did you have a good day at work?
Josh: (a little surprised...) Yes, Alyse I did have a good day at work.
Alyse: What did you do today?
Josh: Well, I watched a man at a hotel for a little while, then we arrested him. Later I had a meeting and worked at the office for awhile. What did you do today, Alyse?
Alyse: Well, I watch Max and Ruby and played. Then I went to swimming and then Mommy, Breeley and me had lunch with my friends. Then I took a rest. Mommy did laundry and gave Breeley milk and was on her computer. And she played her game. (For some reason that is what she calls it when I work out... Not really sure why.) Now she is making dinner. Look! Mommy made chicken and beans. I like beans.
Josh: Wow, it sounds like you had a busy day!
Alyse: Yes. Daddy, I missed you. Why you go to work?
Josh: I miss you, Breeley, and Mommy too, but I have to go to work.
Alyse: I love you, Daddy
Josh: I love you to baby!
It was the sweetest little conversation. It was one of those moments as a mother that you melt because you love your child (and husband) so much. I also realized how big my baby girl is getting. We are going to have to cherish each one of our family dinners because she is growing up way too fast!

What a wonderful little memory to come back to your blog after my "maternity leave" of blogging while adjusting to life with three kiddies.
I know what you mean about how full it makes your heart to hear conversations between your child and husband. My 4 year old son's usually consists of army games right now, so it's a bit more testoterone driven of a conversation since apparently it's not cool to talk army stuff with Mama. Go figure!
P.S. Love your blog's new look since I last visited!
So sweet!!
