It was my firm expectation that while Alden and I were gone in Kansas City, Robbi and Kato would sit around pining, weeping, and being generally miserable. How then am I to feel when I receive photos like the one below, taken mere moments ago and sent to me in an email, which seem to imply an opposite reaction?
Consider me officially miffed. And bewildered. How could Kato be so seemingly happy with his father so very far away? This must be a trick, something done with mirrors. Or Photoshop. I can’t think of any other explanation.





He’s saying “Ahhhh! I finally have Mommy all to myself!”
Something tells me we’re soon going to see a photo of Matthew and Alden having a blast…
Precious photo…
Ok. Pictures of Kato are also becoming ridiculously adorable as well (referring to pictures of Alden usually being the adorable ones).
