A quiet home...

The boys are going to spend the next couple of weeks with Nathan's parents, while Nathan and I are traveling for work. We are sad to be away from them for this long, but at the same time very thankful for the time they will get to spend with their grandparents. My good friend Heidi drove with us to Ohio to meet Nathan's parents. She is great with the boys, and Caleb had fun playing with her during the trip.

When we arrived that evening, the boys warmed up to Grandpa and Grandma right away. We ate pizza, talked, and Caleb has fun exploring the hotel lobby. He partied hard till 10:30 last night, slept in both my and Heidi's bed, and he slept in until 8:30am. We spent a little time together and left mid-morning

I was sad to say goodbye knowing it would be a couple of weeks before we see the boys, but we know that they are in excellent hands and they have a fun couple of weeks planned!

Heidi and I had a good trip home. We enjoyed the rolling hills and beautiful farmland of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and lots of good conversation. We stopped in downtown Morgantown, WV for lunch. It was a gorgeous spring day, 50 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The town was lively and many people were out and about. We had Thai food for lunch, took a trip to a local coffee shop, and hit the road again. I believe that girlfriends are a gift, and Heidi is a great one to me.

Aside from Twix meowing at me when I opened the door, our home was very quiet. No husband to hug and kiss hello, no little boy greeting me at the gate with a big smile as I walk up the stairs, no sweet baby smiling at me in the swing. It is lonely and feels odd to be here by myself, but I will take advantage of the quiet couple of days before I head out of town.

Thank you so much Heidi for taking the roadtrip with us, and to Grandpa and Grandma P. for watching the boys and for all that you do for our family! We love you all.

Blog hiatus for a couple of weeks...
