Strange Feelings

This morning I took Caroline, Melanie, and Hannah to school for the first time in two years. I had homeschooled all three one year and then just Caroline last year. I thought that it would be quite simple, but I was wrong. It is way too quiet around here. I miss them all and wish they were here. As a mother I need that constant noise of four sweet children around me. Yes, I know what am I thinking! Well by 3:30 the noise will return and all will be right in the world. I will quickly get used to the peace and quiet eventually but not all the way. Kimberly keeps me very busy with her inquisitive mind. I sure do love my children!

My Favorite Tree

This is a picture of my most favorite tree in the world. When I was a small child I would climb it as high as I could possibly go. It is special to me because it is at my grandma's house. Each time I would visit grandma my brothers and I would go out back to climb this tree. Grandma has been gone for 12 years, but this old tree is still there. My girls seem to like it also. What a great memory things like this old tree can hold.
