Last night was really quiet around our house. The boys didn't fight. We didn't raise our voices once. It suddenly dawned on me that Emily is the instigator. Well, I think I already knew that. But girls are supposed to be sugar and spice and she is extra spicy.
I was actually surprised at just how much I missed her. I thought it was going to be nice to have a quiet evening at home while she played at a friends house. Instead, I was fighting back tears as we went to sleep. I wanted my girl home with us. I picked her up this morning a little early. I missed her so much. We hugged for a long long time.
But when she walked through the door and saw her Daddy, she was the one crying.
She's still just a little girl after all.

Oh so sad! It is true you really miss what happens when someone is gone even just over night. I bet Emily will sleep like a log in her own comfy little bed tonight.☼

Oh my goodness--that second picture with the little tear on her cheek: so adorable and sad and cute all at the same time :)
Awwww, that's do sweet! So happy to hear you both made it through the night. Big steps for both of you - way to go!
Awww that made me want to cry. I'm sure I will be the same way when my kids get to that age. Glad everything went well though!
Wow, this is sooooo different than anything ever at our house. Sarah and I have always been happy to have time apart, even when she was little. There were never any tears when being apart, that's for sure.
So sweet though. :)
Love,
