Keeping Daddy Close

Madilyn has grown quite fond of any pictures of Matt. She holds them close and carries them around the house, talking to Daddy. She has since ruined a couple of pictures with all of her loving, and we decided to get her something she could take with her everywhere. this way she can always keep her Daddy close. Operation Hug-a-Hero makes items for children with their deployed parents' picture on it! As I browsed the site, I decided a taggie blanket would be perfect for our little girl. It came in the mail tonight and I can't wait to show it to Madilyn tomorrow. Here's a sneak peak!

Madilyn will be staying with her Grandma and Grandpa Merritt this weekend while I help Brianna move in up north, so I'll be sure to ask them to get a few pictures of Madilyn and Daddy while I am away :)

I will be ordering two dolls for my kids tonight (I wish Tyson would carry the blanket, but I know he wont)! What a great idea!!
