Day Seventy-three

Tonight my girls got a big surprise. A group by the name of Operation Voices and Love donated Build-A-Bears to each of the children in Chris' unit and the girls got theirs tonight. Inside each bear is a voice box recording of Daddy's voice. A special message just for Grace, Addie, Ruby, and Zoe. He had recorded them while he was home at Thanksgiving.

The reactions from the girls were priceless. At first they didn't realize that they talked but when they heard his voice their faces lit up! Grace started crying. Addie just hugged and hugged her bear. Ruby's eye got so big as she heard her daddy talking to her. She then started jumping up and down while hugging the bear. Poor Zoe was sound asleep and will get hers in the morning. My heart is full! What a blessing to be able to hear daddy's voice whenever they want to!
