Horner House Happiness!

This post is for Dusty. For several reasons. He is currently in California right now, sculpting away in a little old hotel room, insanely missing his family. We are waiting for him to anxiously arrive home. The world seems to stop when he is gone. We get through our days...slowly. Time seems to stand still. Atticus always thinks he is on an airplane...Greta is always asking what day it is and when is her Daddy coming home....and Otto...well, he is practicing waving right now. He knows too that Daddy is not home. This Mom can't wrestle like Dad can, she can't build train tracks, play rock monster, tickle, draw, etc....... 2 more days and we will be complete again, a well-oiled machine....... So yes, this post is for Dusty. I always knew he would be a great husband, I never knew he would be such an amazing father. He not only works in California on a montly basis, squeezes whatever little time allows for him to work at home, he also takes care of our 3 children while I am at work. BUT..... the most important thing to me is that he always documents his day....through texts and pictures. One of the strongest parts of our marriage is communication. When we first met, he lived in California and I lived in St. Louis. We were together yet were ~2000 miles apart. We made it a goal of ours to talk every single day, even if just for a brief moment. 9 years later, we are still going strong! Thanks to cell phones, texting and picture messages - communicating is so much easier now! So I have been saving these pictures on my phone for quite some time now, unable to delete them, because to me they document our days, our life. So finally....here are some random texts:
