I miss these guys...

Brampton and Cardston left on Sunday to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Stout (in Texas, as Brampton would say, because Galveston is obviously not apart of Texas). And while I am oh so thankful for some time to rest and to keep my ankles from swelling...
I MISS MY BOYS DEARLY.
I MISS hearing them hide in the dryer with all their "babies" while I do the dishes.
I MISS precious moments like this...Cardston reading a book in a storage bin and being silly.
I MISS watching them and hearing them talk and giggle.
I MISS the cute things I find while they play.
I MISS all of Brampton's little treasures....each one is precious to him for some different reason.I MISS having them come wake me in the morning and hearing them whisper to each other as we all lay in bed together.
I MISS taking care of them.
I MISS all of their questions.
I MISS hugging and kissing them.
I MISS putting them to bed at night and singing as they fall asleep.
And I may even MISS having to change Cardston's diapers.
I MISS both of you, Brampton and Cardston.
I can hardly wait to see you again and to be together.
I LOVE YOU TWO.

So well written, and so true! There are times I wish for a quiet house for a while... but then I remember those that have lost loved ones that wish the noise would return. Makes us grateful for what we have!
