Bye Dad!!

Matt left today to work in Pelly Crossing. Since he is in the float position here in Faro they can ship him to other communities if they need staff. Pelly doesn't have any permanent staff- only casuals that fly in from other parts of Canada. Come on nurses! Good jobs to be had here in the Yukon!

This time around Matt will be there until the 16th of September. We are going to visit him there this weekend. He will be back there again from the 5th to 25th of October. The paperwork is going through so Hunter and I can travel with Matt in the work vehicle that has been issued to him. Very nice! And we are allowed to stay with him wherever he goes.

Hunter really misses his Dad when he is away. Matt always does the bedtime routine of the bath, bottle and bed. In the tub tonight he kept saying Da! Da! Da! Ah well, guess mom will have to do!

Hunter watching dad get ready to go:

So cute, but so sad at the same time.

I know! He loves it when Daddy comes home for lunch and after work just to play with him! Mom just doesn't cut it for playtime. I am so glad we are going up there this weekend!

i can so relate! Ava cries now when Frank goes away and she seems psychic as if she knows he is going away for long. And the "where's daddy" question every single day Frank was away...it was hard..
