Papa's Here!!!!

The best moment of my day today was when all of the kids said, "Papa's here!" We were swimming at the fitness club pool at 6:15, and he just walked in all ready to swim with us. It was such a pleasant surprise for everyone. I had left a message for him that we wouldn't be home when he came home from work because we'd be swimming at the pool. If you know anything about this guy, you know he is a home-body who doesn't like to go ANYWHERE and is the opposite of spontaneous, so I really wasn't expecting him to show up.

The second best moment was when Annika told me that 2 plus 2 is four and I asked her what 2 plus 3 is. While she was counting on, Dallin blurted out, "Five!" Then I asked them both what 2 plus 4 is, and Dallin instantly said, "Six!" Same with 2 plus 5. I think we have a mathematician on our hands. Annika got the right answers too, after counting on and I praised her for it, but Dallin just did mental math, like super fast.

How awesome! If he wasn't such a homebody you wouldn't appreciate such a surprise nearly so much.

And what a smart little Dallin you have!!
