I've been embedded in bachelorhood for going on five days now. Ellen and Safia have ventured to Baltimore because Ellen was giving a presentation at the American Studies Association Annual Meeting. Ellen's parents, being pretty darn close to there, made it logical for her to extend her trip just a wee bit longer.
However, now that Ellen and Safia have been gone for a number of days, now, there is something glaringly obvious: The house has been very quiet for too long. I miss my girls. Ellen has been very good at sending pictures to keep me updated on everyone's progress, but I still miss them. I find myself scrolling through pictures and reminiscing. The further back I go in our picture album, the more I am amazed at how much has changed through the course of 6 months. Below is a run-down of the pictures in our album that bring big smiles to my face. Note: pictures may, or may not be repeats from this blog (they're oldies, but goodies) and they are in reverse chronological order.

Interestingly, after scrolling through those pics, I think I miss my girls more, not less.
So sweet!! I miss your girls, too.
