Losing Our Buttons

As most of you knew, we had Valerie's sister and family staying at our house since December. Both Keri and Dave Button got their 4 year degrees from BYU-Idaho and then made the big trek over here to try and find a job and place to live. While an effort was made to find a job on the better side of the mountains, unfortunately, it was in Yakima that Dave found his job.

Yesterday was the big move across the mountains. And, while having 9 people in a 3 bedroom house was certainly very.... full.... it seems so quiet today.

Keri and Dave have never lived that close to the rest of the family, and it was so fun to be able to see Kelsi and Andrew more than we ever have! Ben and Andrew had the best of times playing and the best of fights. It was fun to be able to sit and chat with my sister during the days and go on more shopping trips to Target looking for toy Cars and Diego toys than our husbands will ever or should ever know about it. :) And think of how many late night geocaching trips Jeff will miss out by not having his caching buddy right in the room next door.

I am sure they are thrilled to have more space now than a single bedroom and bathroom, and my kids are excited to have their bedrooms all back to normal, but still kinda sad.

Maybe it is my pregnancy hormones acting up all freaky, but I already miss them. Who is going to watch all my Entertainment Tonight shows with me and not tell me they are stupid? You guys better move back over to this side of the mountains again soon!

We miss you guys! We are so glad you guys were able to spend this time with us!

Then we can spend lots of time shopping without our husbands knowing. Hope they don't read this...ha ha ha! Thanks for sharing your home with us, we love you all!! No, ni!
