Home Alone

Today, Chris and Amelia left for Asheville, NC. They'll be gone for two weeks. Ugh. It will be nice for them to spend the time together. I had her to myself for two weeks in June, and will have her again in a few weeks. But I will miss them.

No, Chris and I are not separated. He's got a job that takes him to Asheville for 8 weeks out of the summer. I have limited vacation time, so I got to go down at the end of June, but I am out of time now. Rather than me being a single parent all summer while Chris is away, we're trading off.

It's tough when both parents have to work, especially when travel is involved. I hope the two weeks go quickly. I'll be glad when this job is over and everyone is back home!

Success!!!

I am happy to report that I am the proud parent of a potty-trained 20-month-old!!! It was not without its setbacks, tantrums, and tears, but now it's official. Amelia decided that our vacation was the perfect time to forego diapers. She has been diaper-free (except at night) for a whole week! Yay Miss A!!!!
