The reins were officially handed over today at 11:33...Grandma and Grandpa are officially in charge of the girls. I scurried off while Lily napped (which was agreed to be the least shocking way for me to go, but it kinda hurt my heart to think that she might wake up and look around for me with that little face that I knew she would make for just such an occassion), and I came home to an empty house. Echo echo echo..... I guess I have the dog and cat still, but they don't really count.
I will also be relinquishing creative control of the blog for the next few nights. I thought it was to be starting tonight, but it's 10:30 and I haven't heard from Marj, so I think maybe they'll start posting tomorrow. Maybe their first day with the Gels girls has them running for bed. I do feel a bit guilty leaving them; Abs and Lils are not exactly the pictures of health right now, so I can only cross my fingers and hope they don't give Marj and Neil too hard a time.
I made the mistake a few minutes ago of checking my flickr page and looking at Saturday's photos. Now I miss them enormously. Silly kids. I should be enjoying my bit of time alone, time to do nothing and relax a bit, but I'm just too struck by how lonely it is. I'm here. Kids are in Duluth. Jen is in Norway. We're all very scattered. I think I'll be spooning the dog tonight in bed.
Here're a few photos from this morning. Again, they're lopsided in favor of Lily, Abby was sleeping the better part of the morning, which I hope is a good thing.
Day ninety nine.
