Papa took a photo of the girls this evening because I miss their faces.  As you can see, Sophie has a new, temporary hairdo, thanks to a lice scare at school that impacted her a little too personally, if you get my drift (the good news is that it was caught very early).

I have never seen her face so exposed before, except when she was a baby with no hair.  She’s very cute, if I do say so myself.  In fact, her sort-of boyfriend (rather, her friend who’s a boy) at school was apparently ambivalent about her new look, hating it one moment, but telling her he liked it the next.  Her Mandarin teacher, however, loved the new ‘do, and told her she looked very pretty.  That made Sophie’s day.

I suppose I miss my girls and my husband, sort of.  But the east coast is facing crappy weather again later tonight, so if by some fluke I’m obligated to postpone my trip home, that wouldn’t be so bad.  The weather is just too beautiful here, and another spa treatment wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world…
