Babies

It's baby missing time again..It just hits me every once in a while that my babies are grown and gone. I have lots and lots of things that fill my life. I'm always busy, and creative, full of ideas. But every once in a while, I'm missin' my babies!

I feel it with Liz if more than a couple of days pass by. She has always been a talker, and we have been talkers together for her whole life. Plus, she lives close, so I get to see her and her hubby on a regular basis. She's fun, and they're fun, and we have fun together. Plus, I feel like she likes me!

I know that Emily is pursuing her dreams, and I've known since she was little that she wanted to go far, but sometimes it's really hard to realize that it will be another several months before I can see her or touch her. Phones and email are good, but she's not a real talker, so I feel the distance on occasion. Especially now that I kind of think that she has changed her teenager thinking about her parents and has grown to like us again like she did when she was a crazy inquisitive little girl who spoke in full sentences from the beginning of the time she could talk! It seems like I hear from her less when things aren't so smooth on her end, so like any Mom, I get concerned. I keep trying stuff- silly projects- to stay connected, but she just doesn't buy in on a regular basis! I need to plan a trip again!
