Why I Miss Them

Canyon & Hannah left for Provo a few weeks ago: and, for those who don’t know…surprise, they’re engaged. Yeah, I know, we were stunned too. They’re getting married in St. George right after Christmas so book your calendars. Anyway, it’s been a sad house around here and I’ll tell you why:
1. No Hannah to cheer up a grumpy Alice after her nap.
2. Less pies, strike that, no pies since they’ve left.
3. No one to finish up eating all of our leftovers.
4. No one to call if we feel like going to Los Vaqueros and need a few extra hands to help with the kids.
5. No one for Jane to smile at—actually, she pretty much smiles at anyone (sorry Hannah, you’re not the only one).
6. No one for little Canyon to pretend to ignore and be grumpy to (big Canyon), honestly, he’s been the happiest little kid to everyone since you left. I miss his grumpiness (it’s hard to type the sarcasm into this one, but you get the idea).
7. No one to take Lily & Kaia to movies.
8. No one to dance with Lily & Kaia to the “High School Musical” soundtrack.
9. No one to visit at Trader Joes.
10. And last, but certainly not least, no one to call in a last ditch effort to babysit (I sob on a regular basis now over this one).

So, hurry up and get married and move back here. The offer to sleep in Alice’s room is still open—I think you’d love it.
