Missing griff

I miss my son.  Its only for two and a half days, but I'm really starting to miss him. I'm at a conference in Syracuse, only 2 hours actually from home, but I really feel the separation today. 

Especially when I get the following email from my husband:

Griffin was really tired when he got home from "the other kid's house" - he didn't notice you were missing until he woke up the next morning. He said, "Drive in Grandpa's car? Grandma here?" We said you were in Hershey and he said "Go there?" :) Kate is at a conference - its just me and Griffin here at home. He asked again this morning.

G: Grandma here? Grandpa Here?
J: No - they're in Hershey.
G: Mommy here?
J: No - Mommy's on a trip.

Then he added

G: Easter Bunny here?
J: No. The Easter bunny comes in the spring when the baby flowers come out.

G: Santa here?
J: No. Santa comes when it gets cold and snows.

G: Snowy outside? (nowy outside)
J: Not yet. After the leaves fall off the trees.

G: Gnome here?
J: "Yes - there are garden gnomes somewhere around here"

G: Watch Owl. Watch Choo Choo?

And that's what we did.

I can't wait until tomorrow, even though I am learning lots of cool tools, sharing ideas and meeting and re-meeting colleagues from around the state.

The darling things they'll say! I'm leaving for ALA this weekend, it'll be the first time away from Liam for more than two days. Not sure how I'll do.
