baby baby.

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!
