AAAAUUUGGGGHHHHHH! Mom's Away!

That blood-curdling sound you're hearing in the distance is emanating from Sligo Creek Park, or nearby at least, as Miriam realizes that her mom is away for A WHOLE WEEK. (If you listen closely, you'll hear Chris whimpering in the background as well.)

Yes, Erica took off for Chicago to do some training for her new job, so it's time for...Diaper Dad! (Cue "Mighty Mouse" music) With some timely help from Grandma Margery and his new babysitter sidekick, Linda, Diaper Dad leads an withering assault on fussiness, whining, and household dirt. Fearless in the face of atomic weaponry (baby tears), undeterred by the stench of a morning diaper (baby poop), undaunted by the prospect of strolling in the 95 degree heat (baby sweat), he somehow manages to keep the Asch household together in Mom's absence (for three days, at least).

But, man, do we miss her...

Hello from Chicago! I have no doubt that Dad is doing a fantastic job. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband who takes great care of our little girl. I miss them both like crazy, but its good to know that Daddy has it all under control.
