a game of fetch!
I have been off the grid for a while, busy planning Rose's 5th birthday party and preparing for Jordan's return home. I painted our house for 10 days straight. More on that later.
Having Jordan home is wonderful. There are no words adequate enough to describe our level of relief and happiness. Especially because that was the last time. 14 months of separations is rough. Jordan and I both agree that the separation this time was harder than ever and vow never--to--do--it--again.
People often ask me if it's hard when he comes home; if it's difficult meshing our lives back together. The answer is no way! We are so thrilled to be in each other's lives again that we're happy to make any accommodations/compromises necessary. You need a sock drawer? Have mine! You need room in the closet? Let me clear some room! You want to sleep on my side of the bed? It's yours!
It feels good to have our life back.
Tonight Rose had Jordan playing a game with ridiculous rules. They had to throw the ball but the other person wasn't allowed to catch it. Other times she'd yell, "ok Dad, now go get the ball and bring it back to me!" We realized it was a game of fetch. Rose made Jordan her pet.

you should get this game called Boochie Ball for Rose. It's a game with these balls and hoops and you have to throw them in ridiculous ways! That's what I thought of when you described what Rose was doing with Jordan. What a silly girl.
Oh yeah! My parents had that game when we were in high school. We played it once and then it got lost but we always wanted to play it again. I remember it being fun. I'll look into it!
