We are so glad when Daddy comes home!

We've had Adam home with us since Tuesday night, after a two week absence. I can't even find words to describe how wonderful it has been. He has to leave again Monday morning, and he still doesn't know what his schedule will be like when he returns. He was saying that he might have to work 18 hours a day for two weeks straight, or something absurd like that. I started to get really worried what he would be eating if he only had 6 hours off each day, one hour spent traveling to and from work and 5 sleeping. He mentioned that he would like to bring some "Eat to Live" type food back with him. He bought supplies at Costco and I've spent the last two days making soups and salads from the recipes in "Eat to Live"--TWO WEEKS WORTH. That's 21 quart size bags of soup, 5 giant salads, several bags of cooked vegis, and 14 Bennett Bars. While I was in the kitchen, Adam and the kids watched "Man vs. Food" and decided to copy a recipe they saw on the show and make this:


Pancakes with bacon and sausage, runny eggs on top. I'm throwing my hands in the air.
