The marking can be delayed until they are more comfortable and 'know' they are staying. Are you still unpacking? if yes, she will mark till you finish and she feels settled in. Yes, missing Dad, always, but it eases my heart knowing he is back with his soul-mate (Mom) and they are whooping it up again together

Vacation was nice, it was all family time for Lewis and I was just along for the 'fun'. We had great weather all week... mid 70's and sunny - we helped his sister lay new wood floors and had awesome family time meals and gatherings. all in all it was a great week. Missed Banks to o much and Cheli was out of sorts, but LOVED all the attention from the kids and family/friends
