It's so quiet

I though I would let you know what we are up to this week. Jeff has the whole week off (yeah) to put a new roof on the house (boo). In order to complete the project, we needed Jeff's dad's air compressor and nail gun. So we squeezed in a quick 2 day trip for Jeff and Heidi to go up to southern WA to pick up the tools and his dads truck. They took the train up yesterday, because I had way to much to do for the final MoPS to take them up, and are heading home tomorrow morning. All of this results in 36 very quiet hours for me. If you have been around my family for any length time you will know that Heidi talks a lot...all the time. I find myself actually turning on music and the TV just for some noise. Clara is now old enough to miss her sister, I don't think I have ever heard her say "Heidi" so many times in one day. I am enjoying this time, but I am also ready for them to be home. This may be more due to the fact of Jeff being gone as well. It has been almost 5 years since I have had to be home alone all night by myself. I don't like it! But boy was my house secure last night!
