Goodbye Roanoke, Hello Charlotte

Our time in Virginia ended abruptly at the end of January.  We put in our notice with the apartment complex and Tom brought all of our stuff home when he went up for the last time.  It wasn’t because of something Tom did.  The project just ran out of money.

Now Tom is working at Duke Energy here in Charlotte.  He is home most nights and enjoys seeing the kids (and his wife) as much as we enjoy seeing him. I has been very nice having Tom home.  Yes, I love to see my husband, but it is really, really nice to have someone to share the night time work load with.  Tom got up twice last night with two different kids.  He also has a magical way of putting Miller back to sleep when Miller wakes up too early in the morning.  He has been playing “Monster” with the kids each night and they love having him around.

Tom’s being home is most noticeable in Wilson.  Poor Wilson had a rough year.  His Daddy started traveling out of town three weeks before his new baby brother was born.  That can’t be an easy transition for anyone.  Wilson was so whiny towards the end of the year.  I could really tell that he was upset with things but didn’t have the words to tell us how he felt.  He is such a happier child now.  He whines much less than he did, he obeys more, and is definitely more content.  He is so excited to have his Daddy play with him after work each day, read to him each night, and lay with him until he falls asleep.

Our family is back together.
