A Sad Day...

Today is a really sad day. As I write this my eyes look like I have been stung by a million bumble bees. About one hour ago exactly my mom left to go back to Charleston. I knew I would be sad, but I did not know I would be this sad. I am not sad because I am scared I can't handle these babies on my own or because I am going to be extremely exhausted (which I know I will be)... I am sad because I am going to miss her being here so much. I have never in my life spent so much time with any one person for this long of a continuous stretch. Have you? I have spent literally everyday of the last 5 weeks with her, non stop! We have worked side by side from early in the morning (EARLY) until late (LATE) at night. At first I thought that we might not get along (I mean, not that we don't get along, but that much time spent with one person just might take its course) but we did. It was so fun. So fun. We laughed so much (mostly because we were delirious) and enjoyed sitting around in our pajamas until 5 o'clock. We didn't let them hold us back either. We were out and about most days of the week. We went to North Carolina, South Carolina, out to eat lunch several times, Walmart trips, Target trips, trips to the outlets (on more than one occasion), ect. And every where we went people just loved the boys! We had a great little schedule of feeds and naps, coffee and Oprah, strolling and tummy time, baths and changings, cleaning and more cleaning... the list could go on for days. Those things and ALL the things we laughed about I am going to miss so much. It is what keeps making me cry when I feel like I have got to a point that I am not going to cry anymore. And all this crying has brought on a horrible headache so I am going to have to try to wrap this up (and the fact that the babies are needing to be fed now).

Here are some more pics from today. We decided to venture to a church we have been wanting to visit since we had the helping hands of my parents for one last day... The boys did really well except when we got to the very end of the service, Clay leaned over and said "We did it" and at that very moment Charlie belted out a scream. We were so close but either way they still did very good.

Momma, I am going to miss you so much. I am not good at putting into words how I feel and this blog post is a good demonstration of that, but I love you and I am SOOOOO thankful for the time you spent here. You did SOOOO much. You gave so much. You cooked so much. You cleaned so much. You loved so much and Clay, Miller, Charlie and I are going to have a rough time adjusting to you not being around. Love you.
