Empty

Our house seems a little empty these days.  I know 2 adults, 2 small children, a good dog, a not so good puppy and a cat doesn't seem like the definition of empty but it seems that way these days.  After a month-long visit from W's parents we said goodbye to them a few days ago.  I won't lie, I was ready to get back into a more normal routine but I do love that the boys get to spend so much time with them once a year and that they are willing to travel this direction to visit.

They left before the boys woke up and Matthew was thoroughly irritated that Nana took her flashlight with her.  The one she keeps by her bed at night.  Apparently he had his eye on it and was hoping she would leave it for him, like the kid doesn't have ANY flashlights?
