Print '09, I despise you!

Every year our company (I don't work there now but it is our family business and I will be going back) has booths at two industry trade shows. The bigger of the two is Graph Expo, held in Chicago every year sometime in September. Every 4 years Graph Expo is Print X, whatever year it is. This year is one of those years, Print '09. This basically means Graph Expo on steroids. Graph Expo is usually 3 or 4 days, I can't remember which. This year the show is 6 days. Six. Wes, being the Vice President of the company is obviously an integral part of the show. Thus, Wes has been out of town since last Thursday and will not be home until very late tomorrow night. It has been quite some time since Wes has had to travel overnight. I don't think he has ever been away for this long since we've had the boys. Certainly not since Little Man made his appearance.

We all miss him very much. Carter is having a particularly difficult time. He was ok for the first few days. Now every once in a while he starts this truly sad and pathetic whine and cries, "I want Daddy." Poor guy, he is going to be so excited to see his Daddy on Thursday morning.

I have been lucky to have my mom and Ashley to help me out some, so I haven't been totally solo. Still, I can't wait to have my husband home. I feel blessed that he is so wonderful and so missable. The fact that his presence and help is so missed is really a testament to what a great husband and father he is. We miss you Daddy!
