After barely enough time to recover from our jet lag, the girls are continuing their summer adventures with Grammy, who took them to Ithaca today for yet another vacation. Sophie will return next weekend; Chloe will stay on with my aunt and uncle for an additional week so that she can attend day camp at Cornell University.
Following 30+ days of non-stop togetherness, my husband and I suddenly find ourselves alone. It is eerily quiet in the house, much more so than during the girls’ previous trips without us. The fact that we spent so much time in one another’s company on a daily basis – for one month no less – makes Chloe’s and Sophie’s absence all the more glaring.
