I found a gray hair last. Actually, that's not quite accurate, I found several gray hairs last night.
I turned 30 a mere 14 days ago.
Here's my list of probable causes, because I still feel 22, and it can't be age:
1. Being away from EK, Richard, P&P
2. Washing my hair in hard hotel water
3. Stress of starting a new job
4. Eating "out" every meal without my usual nod to veggies
5. Driving 200+ miles every weekend
6. Living "dangerously" in hotels around the Nashville airport
No matter the cause, I need to find some Nice N Easy, stat.

20 Months!
Tomorrow Ella Kate turns 20 months old. I'm overly sensitive since this will be the first "birthday" I've been away from her. Hopefully it'll be the last.
She has blossomed the last month she's been at Poppi and Gigi's house. Her vocabulary expands daily and she definitely has no trouble getting her point across. She's an excellent mimic and loves to snuggle with her family, the animals, her toys, her food, books and her bath water. We're really having to work on NOT snuggle-loving bath water. It could get dangerous. She doesn't seem to mind a mouth full of water, though.
When you ask her about her favorite letters, Mr. M gets top billing. Mr. T is next with Mr. N a close third. She knows their sounds and asks to watch Letterpeople videos every half hour. She's nothing if not persistent.
When in Decatur, I'm too busy cuddling to take any pictures, but will update the blog with updates as soon as I can!

An open letter to family and friends...
To our family and friends:
The Pullens are aware that we've been terrible friends. We are in hunker-down mode, just trying to survive living apart for a few more weeks. We aren't drowning, but Richard and I are focusing on swimming parallel to the shore - keeping our heads out of the water and bodies above the rip tide.
On a bright note - September first is our reunion date. We've found a house to rent in Franklin and we'll all be together in the same state. We might not have furniture since we need to leave our for-sale house staged, but we'll be together in sleeping bags and pack n' plays. Just in time for football season.
So, if you haven't heard from us, we still love you all! Life is just a bit odd right now. We'll reconnect soon. I promise.
Love and miss,
Richard, Allison, Ella Kate, Piper & Penelope
