Daddy on another road trip :(

Well baseball season it is, so another weekend with Daddy not home. :( It actually hasn't been too bad this year, luckily they aren't on the road much this season, however it is so different for him to leave now that our little princess is here. Our first year of marriage he was gone a lot! I hated it, it was such culture shock to me with us being newly weds and in a new apartment. Then I met some wonderful wives who talked and guided me through this whole baseball career lifestyle. The second year wasn't so bad, I was getting used to it. The third year we won't get into. But now, going into our 4th year married and TJ's fourth year with the Dirtbags, its a whole new ballgame. We have a little one now, so I can't just keep myself busy while he is out of town and plan all my girls lunches, nights out, weekend getaways, etc. Don't get me wrong, I am not upset about that, I love being a mommy. I just hate being home without him. It is so lonely and we miss him so much when he leaves. I have cried every time he says good bye to us, for just a weekend, how will I get through the summer of him being in Alaska. I know that this is for his career and it's his passion, so that is what brings me through each hard night alone. I know that God will take care of us and is bringing us through each of these experiences for a reason. I am just praying for one of our careers to finally pay off, so for that I will do whatever it takes to stand by TJ and his dream of being a coach. I don't know how these MLB wives do it?! :)
Each trip when Daddy gets home he goes in to see Rhowan sleeping peacefully in her crib, then accidentally wakes her up ;) and how convenient daddy gets to see his baby girl that he missed so much. Then mommy gets to put her back down after he has stimulated and played with her in the middle of the night. But what a small price to pay to have him home after a long weekend away. We will miss you this weekend hunny and I promise to go on the next road trip. He has begged us to go on each one, but it is soooooo much work to travel with Rhowan and all her belongings right now! I know, I know, she is going to have to get used to it and she will. We will be going to Alaska this summer for 2 or 3 weeks and that will be a fun travel and airport adventure all alone! Oh God, I am already stressing that now! LOL.
Well I have lots of pictures to upload from Daddy's birthday last week, Easter, and some others, so I will get on that and post very shortly.
Hope you all had an amazing Easter with your families and friends. Love to you all.
xxoo,
