Missing

Most every minute of the past 

9 years, 2 months and 13 days

I have spent with our children.

Finally, the time came for Papi and I to take a little break of our own.

So, Mommy went missing for 48 hours.

But I came home to find something else was missing.

DJ was missing a tooth!

He lost his first tooth while I was away.

I don't know how Papi does it.

I missed one tooth falling out.

He misses a lot more.

He really does have the harder job.

I did get to be here to see how excited he was for the tooth fairy though.

And with a grin like his

I couldn't help but smile at that missing tooth.
