His ride from his company's offices in Sao Paulo to the airport was treacherous. The body guard/driver was a maniac. Like I posted before, crazy driving is the norm in Sao Paulo. Luckily Rick was traveling with another employee, who speaks Portuguese, so the English-less airport was not as confusing as it could have been.
Tonight he flies from Brasilia to Rio where he will spend the rest of the week. He is so anxious to get home and we are anxious to see him. We have only seen each other 12 hours in the last 2 1/2 weeks. By Saturday it will be three weeks.
It's funny how things work out. When I was growing up my dad was frequently gone because of work, and now I am somewhat grateful because it somewhat prepared me for being married to a traveling man. I try not to complain too much because I am thankful my husband has a job and that job's pay allows me to stay home with our daughter. Like all things in life, there is a positive and a negative to every situation and every cloud has a silver lining. If I didn't repeat that to myself several times a day, I would be very blue.
Below is a picture of Katie's Play-Doh creation. I am not sure what it is, but according to Katie it was thirsty so I had to put a few drops of water in its "mouth."
From the looks of this picture below it's going to be a rough day. Someone misses her Daddy. Turn that frown upside down--and that goes for you too Rick!
Trying to turn Katie's frown upside down, I told Katie not to smile. My exact words were, "Don't you dare smile." Of course it worked and you can see her desperately trying to suppress a grin in the picture below.
Rick, nós amamo-lo e faltamo-l. Be safe and learn a little Portuguese!
P.S. Translation: we love and miss you.
P.S.S. I love Babel Fish!
