Breakfast with Daddy

I love Skype.  However, Skype and Facetime do not work in Abu Dhabi without a VPN (Virtual Private Network).   We are not sure if the government has blocked it or what.  The first trip that Mike went on, we didn't know it was blocked or about a VPN before he went over there.   The second time he went, he set up a VPN before leaving so when he goes to Skype.com, his ip address looks like he is in the States.  It made his last trip so much easier being able to SEE him!  Unfortunately, because of the time difference, he isn't home from work before Olivia leaves for school and he is in bed by the time she gets home from school.  So only if he is suffering from jet lag and wakes up in the middle of the night, Olivia doesn't get to talk to Mike much.  The weekends are great though.  This is the girls having breakfast with him on a Saturday morning!

You are one strong mama! It must be so hard for Mike to be away for so long. I know the reward will be worth it though!
