Daddy Away: Scrapbook page

The Log your Memory Week #29 Challenge was to take a look at your vacation from a different angle.

A bit of a different take on the time while Phill was unexpectedly sent to Argentina for a couple of weeks. It was 4 days notice, so not long to prepare an 18 month old for time away from her beloved Daddy. We did have lots of fun together in the shade of the fig tree at the bottom of the garden. These are photos from those days.

Emily and Mummy were blessed to have some time together alone, while Daddy was in Argentina. Emily asked me to take photos for Daddy.

New 52–Souvenirs

Only about two months ago (how time flies!?!) Phill brought us a back a couple of souvenirs From Argentina and Chile. Mine was a small, tooled-leather box from Mendoza, a city nearby to the Gold mine. I also got an alpaca wool scarf, in PINK of course.

Emily’s gifts were a giraffe puzzle with a baby giraffe (cute!) and her ‘Argentina hat’ – a bright pink beanie with an alpaca and other animals and things stitched on it!

 

Emily’s had a hard time working out that Daddy isn’t going away every time he leaves for work. She stopped asking to see Daddy on ‘puter (Skype) a couple of weeks ago. This morning for the first time since Phill has been away she told me “Daddy, gone! Work, big bus” rather than “Daddy, gone! ‘Tina!” Such a relief that she’s finally getting her head around the fact that Daddy is back to stay. 

Learn more about the New 52 challenge here. I’m finding that looking out for new experiences is helping me appreciate that my life is full of variety. What new things have you tried this week?
