I miss my sweet sweet boy. Where has he gone you ask? He had the opportunity come up to be able to go spend 2 or 3 WEEKS in Colorado!! I looked into his big chocolate brown eyes and when he asked with that apprehensive "Mom, can I go", I just couldnt say no. He is staying with our dear friends, The Walkers, But I miss him terribly already. I walked into the house after he left and already an emptiness encompassed my heart. It is amazing to me the spirit our children bring into our homes and our hearts. Kris said "this is awful, why did you let him go"?? He said that Nick is our son who still likes to hug mom and dad and come and talk to us. He is an amazing young man!
And to make matters worse, Nate leaves for Youth Conf. tomorrow. It will be just Caitlyn, Kris and I...and of course..the dogs! I told Nate, that is it, you cant serve a mission and be gone 2 years..it will just be too hard on my tender mommy heart! He laughed and said, Ok, are you going to tell Heavenly Father that you wont allow me to serve him??? I guess not, but If I miss them like this now, Heavenly Father better protect my heart and bouy me up when they go on missions or I will never make it.
We have now decided that all 3 of our kids will have to live by us forever!!

Oh Cheryl I know just how you feel (sniff sniff) Spencer took off this past Saturday to spend three weeks with my Mom and Keith in MA. Curt and I were just saying last night that we miss him soooo much! It is like a part of me is missing. Hang in there, they will be back before you know it!
I am so glad someone else understands that!! Spencer is a lot like nick. A very gentle soul! And a peacemaker!!
OK so the reality is......hahah. Now you know why having Tiffani and her little family just 25 minutes and 4 seconds away is so hard for me. And, Tandi with her brother Ty are 1128 miles and 9 yards, 2 feet, 1 1/2 inch away. Gas is so high we won't be able to make our trek south this summer to see my youngest children or gramma.
OK, now I'm whining on your blog LOL! Love ya! The more you try to keep them close the farther they go, no really.
