Quiet House

It's amazing how quiet the house can seem (or actually be) with just two people missing. Going to school this morning was easy. There was no fighting over the computer, no fighting at all since Wednesday morning. Yesterday afternoon Esther and I made meat pies for dinner and brownies for dessert. We had a nice quiet dinner and then went to the library. Dad called while we were eating and the kids really enjoyed talking to him, especially Emmy who got such a broad grin on her face while she was talking to him. Anyway, even though the quiet is nice, we really all miss Ben and Dad, but are sure they are having a great time without us.
