Escape to New York

by Maile Girl on August 18, 2010

Excuse me, Maile Girl here. Just wanted to chime in. I miss my Mommy. And even though Daddy keeps telling me “go to sleep, wake up, go to sleep, wake up” – I’m not going to sit idly by any longer. I’m a little girl of action.

So I hatched a plan.

First, I booted up the computer Daddy gave me and figured out how where in the world New York is.

Maile: "Daddy, what's the site I see you on sometimes with the maps?" Daddy: "Google Maps?" Maile: "Thanks."

Maile: "Daddy, what's the site I see you on sometimes with the maps?" Daddy: "Google Maps?" Maile: "Thanks."

After I few clicks, I was able to get a line to draw showing me where I needed to go. It was basically as long as two of my hands, so I figured it was doable.

After that I told Daddy I wanted to “go outside and practice walking.” He obliged and we headed out with my walker. After that I was off!

As you can see, I hit a few obstacles, but I will not be denied! Mommy, I’m coming!

(Dad note: Maile walked the furthest she ever has on this little adventure. With that said, this is how far we made it:

Needless to say we have our work cut out for us…)

Getting By…

by Papa K on August 18, 2010

Update on Maile and Daddy’s Home Alone adventures… we’re doing pretty good. Still very much missing Mommy, but staying strong. We had grand plans to use our new iPhones to FaceTime chat – unfortunately two things happened:

1) We can’t do it at night when Mommy is on the hotel WiFi because Maile Girl gets too worked up missing mommy before bed.

2) For some reason when we try in the morning it doesn’t work on Mommy’s work network.

So we improvised and Mommy sent Maile a video to watch. And watch it we did. About 20 times!
