My house is empty. Last night Mark took Grant camping with him up on the nearby "mountain" (which is really a hill) with the YM from church. I got to have a quiet evening and watch a little T.V., something I never really do anymore and this morning I ran by myself. It seems as if I should have a list a mile long of things to get done and especially while it's just me, but I find myself just kind of waiting around for them to come home....they are such a part of me.

Family is just what feels our life with joy! isn't it!
I like the symbolic empty chair. Sounds like a perfect day for a hair appointment or early Christmas shopping or garage saling....I can think of a million things!
I would love to have a day like that, but it's going to be a while. It's sad and wonderful that when we have time alone, they are all we think about.
it's funny how we dream about time 'alone' but then when we have it we want to be with those we love the most!!! even grocery shopping - i would much rather go with my hubby (maybe leave the kiddos at home though).
call me if you feel lonely. :)
I was just thinking about that yesterday. I was home with just Gavin, Harrison and Graham. Graham was taking a nap and the other two were playing happily. I couldn't believe how empty the house felt. That is a great feeling to have. Family is wonderful!
