You bet, and there's a lot of things I want my H to do to that NEVER happens. This is a cheeseless tunnel for you, isn't it? Always waiting for him to call. Seldom happens, and when it does it's bad timing for you and doesn't fit your plan. Grab the bull by the horns, call him. What's the stand off? Ignore the rotten email you just got, and reask the questions like you've never gotten a reply yet. DB your a$$ off. Have you ever tried to be so dripping sweet and/or lay a guilt trip on him? And if he gets upset and isn't coming to see you and S4 (did he just get older?) let him know you still have vacation time from work and you plan to go with S4 and have a great time somewhere. You're not sitting at the FAMILY house waiting for him to come and see it (first time, right?), so if he's not flying in to your local airport he's gonna be SOL.
