(lego portraits by Sosi of Ila and herself)

Thinking a lot of my girls today as both start new summertime adventures that will allow me some much needed time to work.

It never gets easier leaving them somewhere new for the first time. I feel the same today (a little nauseous and a lot sad) as I did when I left Ila at daycare for the first time, or dropped Sosi off for her first day of school. It breaks my heart every time. I really hope the tears have been replaced by smiles and happy new friends when I pick them both up later.
