Down to 4!

Kids that is! The oldest 5 are all away this week. One is at camp, three are on a church mission trip, and one is away on a graduation trip with my Mother-in-law (they are in London as I type this, and headed to Paris next-I'm going to admit I am a wee bit jealous:). Whew. It feels so......strange! I admit I was kind of looking forward to the quiet and a bit less laundry and chaos (until they all return, each with a weeks worth of dirty clothes!), but I am missing them! I like my crazy, noisy, and busy crew and it doesn't feel right to only have the four youngest running around. Remind me I felt this way next week when I need a megaphone to be heard over the voices of nine kids!
