I am out of town tonight. Short trip away, but I miss the girls. Here are the notes I have written for them (I write them notes for before bed whenever I am away).

Hi M!!

How are you, beautiful? I have been in a tall building the whole day, since I got here, and the hotel is in the same building! I might try to go for a walk later.

How was your day? Did Mari come? Are you still wearing the brown shirt? You are one of the two cutest girls in the whole world, and I love you soooo much! You have very cute hair – I wish I had nice red curly hair! And you are an excellent finder and organizer. Thank you for the help with my earrings yesterday!

I miss you and I love you and I will see you tomorrow!!!

Love, Mommy

Hi A!!

How are you my cutie pie? I miss you so much. I took an a-plane this morning. There weren’t many people on it at all. My friend Jenn was on the plane but this time, she didn’t lose her wallet! She is sitting here next to me.

Did you have a fun day? I heard that it was really hot. Where did you go? Are you wearing the green and white striped shirt again? Or did you switch, maybe to Cherry?

You are such a good dancer. I love that you like to read that ballet book every night, even if I complain about having to read it. You study it so carefully and look at every picture!

I miss you and I love you so much, beautiful! I will see you tomorrow night!

Love, Mommy

I also have some photos to upload tonight. The first was taken at the girls’ friend Ichi’s birthday party (look at M’s hair!) over the weekend, and the second is another photo from the baseball game. Buppie said that I didn’t pick the one she wanted me to post – the one with the field in the background.
