Best Buds

This week has been so strange. Braden and Cade have been at LSU baseball camp all week. They have even been staying with my parents and some friends at night so we don't have to drive them back and forth. That leaves only Bryce here. It is an amazing glimpse of what having an only child would be like. It is SO EASY!!! He ran errands with me Monday, then Richard and I took him to play golf, out to eat, and then even ended up at Walmart. For Bryce, who is pretty much a loner at heart, I think it suits him just fine. However, he does have one friend that he really loves to spend time with. Lyle is one year older than Bryce and used to live across the street from us at our old house. Their family is actually the family that got us out of our house when it was on fire a couple of years ago, so they have a special place in my heart. Lyle and Bryce are truly two-of-a-kind. They don't get to see each other very often now because Lyle's family moved about 45 minutes away to another little community. We try to get the boys together, but schedules are very limiting. However, this week, I went and got Lyle to stay for a couple of nights. They get the run of the house without the "little brothers" to drive them crazy. So far, we have gone out to eat, gone to laser tag, and seen the movie Transformers. This week will probably go down as one of Bryce's favorites. Me, however, I'm ready to get my little ones back. I'm a little lost without the craziness of all the kids!
