Emotional Blackmail

Modern communicative technology has helped me keep in touch with Packrat in Vietnam. I've also it to emotionally blackmail Packrat into feeling bad for being away. I know it's not his fault and he wouldn't be if he didn't have to be but it's been a fun sending him messages from the twins knowing that it twangs him in the heart. I'm mean. I know. :)

So, with this picture, taken the morning he left...


"Good Morning Papa! We love you very much and we will miss you. Come home soon so that you can flip us upside down! Love, Evan and Jordan. "

And this was taken when we took Aunty A and Aunty J out to breakfast because it was Aunty A's birthday.

"Hello Papa! Mommy is giving us hotcakes! It is yummy but can you ask Mommy to give us more? Where are you Papa? MacDonald's isn't the same without you. Come home soon! Love, Jordan and Evan".

Simple messages which tug at the heart. But also so that Packrat can see what they are doing here and because they change even in the course of days.

Packrat comes back tomorrow night. I think the first thing he's going to do is to head into the twins' room and sniff their sleeping heads.
