Diary of a Temporary Single Mom

I got this idea from another blogger at Chickpea Sewing Studio and I think it will help me get through the next two weeks. Plus, as my hubby is my only reader, he gets updates on how we're doing here in Vancouver.

Now that the volcanic ash has settled, Kris's work trip to the UK is on again. We tried to explain all week that Daddy was going on a trip, and even on the way to the airport and at the gate Tobin didn't understand what was happening. It was after the last hug and we when we went our separate ways did Tobin ask "Where Daddy going?" I told him Daddy is going to England. Tobin replied "Me go England toooooo." Our friend Andrew drove us to and from the airport and all the way home Tobin asked "Where Daddy?" Yes, every two minutes. My thought - Oh boy, this could be a looooong two weeks.

Kris is a great dad and in preparation for this trip, he made several videos for Tobin. These videos range from a good morning message to a night night routine to wrestling with Tobin on his big boy bed. We watched these as soon as we got home and the smile never left my little boy's face. He loves his Daddy very much. The videos were a huge help. Thanks Hon! He went to bed just fine for me even though daddy usually does the bedtime routine.

Here are a few shots of the lazy morning we had for our last full day together as a family.

Don't you love Tobin's bed head? He is sitting on the window ledge to see the garbage trucks go by.

I've spiced up Fridays at our house by making them "Funny Face Food Fridays" Which explains the breakfast we had.

Here is Tobin at the aquarium. This will definitely be one of our outings while Kris is gone.

Well, I should sign off now, but I will be back to update my diary of a temporary single mom.

More to come
