It's funny how a house filled with four kids and one mommy can feel so empty. We are noticing a huge void in our lives with Jeremy and Peter away in Utah. It's really weird not having them here. I guess this is the first trip Jeremy has gone on where he has taken a kid with him and left me home with the rest of them. I've done it to him several times, but never been on this end of things. It's so strange. I feel like Peter is asleep taking a nap and I swear I keep hearing him crying in his crib. I've even gone up to check to see if he's there a few times. I'm losing my mind.
I'm not the only one that is missing him. I've overheard the following since they left:"Man! Our house is so quiet!"
"I actually kind of miss having somebody get into all of my stuff."
"I miss Peter.... I want him to come home."
"I really wish that Peter and Daddy could come home now. We really really need them in our family."
While I have enjoyed the quiet time and the more relaxed environment that comes from being baby-less. I miss my little boo like crazy! I felt so naked at church today without him. I actually got to listen to the speaker during Sacrament meeting... (although I may or may not have been coloring with the girls because I felt like my hands weren't allowed to sit still for that long.)
I miss seeing his little wobbly frame toddling around our home. And I almost miss him trying to unload the dishwasher while I attempt to load it. What I miss most of all is his little jabber-talk... that little grumbly voice... those cheeks... those thunder thighs... Yeah... I'm ready for him to come home.
P.S. I promise I miss Jeremy too. ;)

weird how you wish you could just be babyless for a moment so you can get a few things done. Then when you actually are you feel so naked and useless!
