We Miss You Daddy!

This morning Max and I dropped Steve off at the airport at 5:00 in the morning. After a long night of not sleeping - I think that we all got about 3 hours - he had to head out for a business trip in Miami. Max came down with his first cold yesterday which meant a very long night of sniffles, cries, and general uncomfort for him. Steve couldn't sleep and in turn, neither could I. Steve will be gone until Friday - definately the longest he's been away from Me and Max. Normal business trips are 1 - 2 nights. This one is very important though and will last a full week. Poor thing - he called tonight - he caught Max's cold and is running a temperature. Not the best thing to happen when your in such an amazing place. He has to go back next month - that time Max and I get to tag along!
So that means I get the fun of holding down the fort while he is gone. Max seems to be doing well - although not feeling well always tends to hit in the evening, so we'll see how it goes. I was hoping this week to introduce Max to new things while Daddy is away. I am hoping to hit 'Book Babies' at the library, go on a few walks with Mr. Jackson, and try to visit the zoo. Max is obviously too young to understand the zoo - but he can sure have fun checking out the animals.
