This photo is from so long ago, but it is one of my favorites. Taken by K, of course, while playing with her many baubles; Ella has been a girly-girl from the get go. Can you believe how tiny she is in this photo? The best I can tell, it was taken sometime spring of last year. It is amazing to me how she has grown since then.
I’m blogging this picture because I’m in a hotel room without my girl and I can’t take a “picture of the day.” Fortunately, I should be receiving one each night via email so that I can see my little princess and share them with you.
In another life, I worked for another company and traveled quite a lot. In this life, it’s been eighteen months since my last overnight business trip and I’m finding it more difficult than I remember. Then, she was small and didn’t seem to remember my absence. Now, she is very cognizant of everything that is going on and she knows I’m not coming home until Friday. As it stands, I’ll be traveling for the next several weeks. I’m far enough away to miss my family like crazy and not get to see them everyday. I’m close enough that I’ll be driving home on Friday evenings to spend wonderful weekends at home.
Lucky for me, my hotel has high-speed internet, despite it’s remote location. Lucky for you, that means I’m blogging again. You did miss me, right?
You’ll be glad to know that I’ve ordered a new computer and it should be here on Tuesday. That means that my blogging should resume quite regularly. AND, not that it matters, but my computer is a mac-daddy. It is an all-in-one desktop with a touch screen monitor. It will be like having a giant iPod on my desk. I’m so excited that you can be sure I’ll post the details soon.
