A Quiet House

Things here at the Smith house have been pretty quiet...Jordan, Maggie, and Melissa have been in Kentucky at a conference for singles called New Attitude. It is 4 days of intense teaching and extreme fun! They are on their way home tonight..please pray for safe travel!
Josiah has been home with us (you have to be 18 to go to the conference). It has been so different to just have one kid at home, but we made some sweet memories. I usually make the girls go with me to get flowers for the porch but he went this time, and of course he was my escort to the grocery store a couple of times! He had lot's of homework so while he did that Joe and I have been busy doing spring cleaning all weekend and even yesterday(Monday)..getting ready for Melissa's graduation and in prep. for the wedding too. This morning Joe said he was glad he could get back to work today so he could get some rest...ha! I guess I'm a hard task master! We are very excited that the Bauers are coming from Atlanta and will arrrive here tomorrow night. Caleb will participate in the SGC graduation open house this weekend with Melissa and the rest of the graduates.
Having the house quiet has made me think alot about my life and the blessing these 4 kids are to me. They have brought me so much joy, more than words can adequately express....it is like having 4 best friends (5 including Joe) living with me. I am a blessed woman forsure! I would love to get really emo here and continue writing, but I must get back to my house cleaning before the company arrives. I will hold that thought for another time! Looking forward to posting "A Night In The Life" again tomorrow night and seeing all you other bloggers posts on what goes on at your house on a Wednesday night! Gotta scoot for now.....
