Dad's Away...

Miss Margaret is becoming quite the helper (when she wants to be!). Knowing Daddy and everyone else are hungry for pictures, I took out the camera today to snap some photos. Margaret helped with the lens cap:

"Here, Mom, let me help you with that"

"Hang on, I've almost got it on"

Lens cap back in place (and subsequently discretely removed again by Mom), I distracted her the best way I know how so as to really take some photos:

"Let me help you organize this mess"

"I'll just put all the bills in one pile..."

"...and the cards in another. Sort of."

Dad is back on Monday, and boy, do we miss him. As, I'm sure, do the loyal fans! All I do is sit around eating dinner by myself and crying while I watch the election speeches replayed. What a moment. I'm also commuting to Year 5 Camp, where I have blissfully been relieved of night time duties in order to meet my obligations to Miss M. John says we should hurry up and get pregnant again so I can get out of next year, too :-)

You're a trooper, to be solo parenting and working full time. Hang in there! And yes, we did some crying while watching those speeches too...

Oh YAY!!! I've been stalking the blog all week, knowing there wouldn't be anything new, and look!! The little pumpkin busy at work. I love it! You have done it all, Sammy... worked full-time, cared for your daughter, alone, (sort of) AND you have added to the blog. You are a wonder! :-) Thank you!!! And thank you for John being here this weekend. What a treat for me! XXOO

It's strange to be on the other side of the blog, but it is a lift to see Margaret.

Sorry I have to stay a few more days, SAM. You're the most wonderful, capable wife in the world and I couldn't be luckier!

I miss you guys terribly.

We call that "double parenting!"
