Sandwhich without the filling

It was just Mike, Miles and I today.  Papa took Maxwell to EC to visit Gma Donna and Auntie Juls and the kids.  I stayed home because I had a million things to do and with Max being gone all day...I thought it would help me to be able to get some of those things accomplished and it did.  I still have lots to do, but I almost got caught up on the laundry, cleaned out both the boys dressers/closets and packed away clothing they had out grown,  (Any mama knows what a painful task that can be and I hadn't done it in awhile so it took a few hours to do both bedrooms), cleaned our bedroom and transferred our things from our old night stands to our new ones (which were delivered on Tuesday), and even got in a nice nap.

I missed little Max terribly and it was so hard for me to see him driving away in the car with Brad...but it was nice to get things done with less inturruptions and also to spend some time completely devoted to little Miles.  He doesn't get this very often unfortunately.  He's such a good natured, easy going, and patient little boy that he doesn't mind...but it's always nice to give a child devoted one on one time.

Miles was so happy and fun today.  He even rolled from his tummy to his back for me twice!  And it's funny because he kept his mouth closed like 50% of the time.  I know this sounds wierd...but this kid always has his mouth open.  He's done it since birth.  We noticed immediately because he would sleep with his mouth open.  Anyways, it's so funny to see him with his mouth closed...we always tease him and say we don't recognize him when it's closed.  Today he was sucking on his lower lip and making the silliest little faces.  He's so sweet...I just can't help but kissing his cheeks constantly.

Anyway, Max and Papa are staying in EC over night...this is Max's 1st time away from his own bed since our last trip to Fort Meyers for Bill's memorial when he passed a year ago.  I guess he did actually take an hour nap with Brad this afternoon...so hopefully tonight goes as well.  I talked to him on the phone today and he was so cute and before we got off the phone when I was telling him that I loved him...he kept saying, "see ya, mama".  :)

Oh, yeah...and before they left this morning I came downstairs to pack away a few toys for the car ride and he came downstairs saying, "Maaaammma?  Mom?  Mom?  Maaaammmmaaa?" looking for me.  Um, where did the "Mom" come from??!  I've always been Mama...even back to the Michael days!  LOL! What a silly boy!
