Wish you were here ...

Last week when all 3 of my kids stayed all night with a friend, I missed them but I missed my daughter the most. See, she's the one Freckles loves best, the one Freckles follows around and the one that Freckles likes to lick. My daughter will be sitting at the kitchen table doing her schoolwork and I'll hear slurping, look under the table and there's Freckles licking my daughter's ankle. With my daughter gone, guess who got to be the very reluctant substitute?
