Home & Happy

The past few days have been stuffed with love and laughter. And fun. Turns out we Donnelley girls (yes, that includes Mom!) have not forgotten how to have a good time.
But now. I am here. Home. The place where I belong. In the orbit of two little girls. My little girls. I missed them so much it hurt. And it is good to be with them.
I know I should stop apologizing - for my limits, for my longings, for my life – but this is who I am. And so I am sorry. That this post comes late in the day. That these words are wispy and lack true metaphorical heft. I have been traveling and I am tired. I am home and I am happy.
Now. I must go and snuggle two little creatures on our big couch. We will wait – just us girls – for Daddy to come home.










No apology necessary. Welcome home, literally and virtually.
No, you should NOT be apologizing. But you know that. So glad you had this amazing time with your sisters. I know you know how lucky you are to have that.
Adorable photo.
Welcome back. Having people welcome me home is always special.
Great pic! I love how it almost looks faded, like it is from a few decades past.
Glad to hear you had a great time. There is nothing quite like some quality time with the sisterhood.
I’m confused. Are you orbiting too little girls, or being orbited? Or is it a sort of mutual thing? Either way, I expect you get very dizzy.
Mothers should never apologize before putting their children first or for savoring a moment of happiness.
I have a sister, we sadly don’t have such a lovely friendship. It’s good that you cherish that, hold on to it forever.
As they say, going away is fun, but coming home, well it’s home!
Glad you are back!!
I just want to say, “Awww!” That’s so sweet.
