Lonely

I love my kids.  And I have a hard time being away from them.

Needless to say when Stuart and KatieJo talked about her spending a few weeks with Stuart's parents this summer I was apprehensive.  Truthfully apprehensive doesn't quite do how I was feeling justice.  

It has nothing to do with where she is but more the fact that she's not at home with us.  

I gave in and let her go.

But OH HOW I MISS THAT GIRL!

I miss just chatting with her, going grocery shopping or just plain shopping and listening to her giggle.

We go get her next weekend and I can't wait!

We've talked to her just about every evening, but it's just not the same.  

I'm glad she's having a good time getting to know her new Aunt's and playing with her cousins.  

However, I am SO very excited to have our family complete again!

This next week Samuel will be gone camping with his best friends family.  I'm glad he too is having and adventure this summer.  It's just so quiet around the house!
  I get tired of their fighting, but I sure do miss them when they are gone!!
