Marc went up to Wuskwatim (Hydro dam near Thompson, MB) again for 10 days. Marc usually quite enjoys going up but this time the camp was at minimal capacity (about 300 employees where they usually have close to 1000) so there weren't very many patients coming to the EMS trailer so he was more bored than busy. Before Marc went up we got his older laptop (about 6 years old) repaired and borrowed grandmaman and grandpapa's webcam so we could skype before Ava went to bed every night!
Skype-ing is pretty neat! Ava much prefers to talk to Papa when she can see him at the same time, so it is neat to see her reaction when he appears on the computer screen! Although skype-ing is nice, we are looking forward to Marc coming home tomorrow evening!!
Other than papa not being home, our routines have been pretty normal. I have been a bit more busy at work these days as I have a new project to work on which I am enjoying, and Ava has been going to Denise's and also sleep-overs at grandmaman and grandpapa's!
At Denise's, Ava is the oldest of three girls and there is a little boy who just turned one. All the kids play quite well together most of the time and lately the game of choice is 'hairdresser'. One of the little girls brings a comb from home and they use a little squishy lamb as the shampoo, taking turns washing and combing each other's hair!! It is so adorable. The girls especially like combing Ava's hair because it is so long (half way down her back)!
Well, one more late evening shift for me, one more sleep-over for Ava at grandmaman's and then pick-up Papa tomorrow! Can't wait!
