For the past week, Dad has been traveling...out of the country. Elise has done pretty well, sometimes she says she misses him, but we have been trying to explain his absence as best we can. Since he has been in Japan it becomes pretty difficult to determine who is on which day. There is one advantage to being 13 hours apart. Some days it has actually made it possible to talk to him twice in one day. For example, we could talk to him before he goes to bed, which is our morning. And sometimes we would get a chance to talk to him before he headed to work in the morning, which is our evening. This is not the first time he has traveled to Japan, so we both have Skype accounts and have been able to talk for free over the computer. BEST EVER! No more phone cards, or just email.
My computer is not new enough to have the internal microphone or the camera so before the last trip he made we bought a microphone headset that plugs directly into the computer. The best part was when Elise talked to him.
I think she really liked hearing him and being able to tell him the fun things we were doing. Obviously you can tell we went to Kroger. Her favorite phrases for where dad is and what he is doing are:
"Dad is on a field trip."
"Dad is on an airplane." We told her that when he left and that an airplane will bring him back to the airport then he will drive home.
He gets back today, and we (I) am so excited. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and there aren't any delays.
