Missing Her Already

My mom left a few hours ago for Michigan to stay with my grandpa, who is in poor health, while my grandma has surgery. She took Sasha with her, and they'll be gone until Sunday evening. Already I'm feeling an odd emptiness in the house. I guess this is how it was before Sasha came into our lives, but her absence is something I'll have a hard time getting used to. I'm going to miss her smiles and laughter when she's being silly and her drama-queen-esque performances when she's upset (she wanted to put on her pink bathing suit this morning instead of her regular clothes, and when I wouldn't comply to this, she threw herself down on the floor and refused to look at me. Of course, she got over it within five minutes.)

I've added these pictures to keep my special little girl fresh in my thoughts...but I'm sure I won't be needing reminders!
