In the meantime, she is receiving (and giving) love and affection to her mom's side of the family and generally having a grand old time. Somehow, though, alongside the all of the excitement and joy, I think she probably misses me. Nothing else could explain the way she relaxed in my arms for a few minutes this morning before I left the house.
