Before everyone else is up and awake.....

is my favorite time of day......

No one else up.....just me.....

I plug in the coffee and open up the blinds

in the living room, dining room and kitchen....

turn the 'puter on....read up on my blog list..

and just enjoy the quiet house.

Don't get me wrong....

I love my kiddos, love the noise of our large family....

but, it's nice to have a bit of peace and quiet

 before it all begins.

My second favorite time of day:

Suppertime

When we are all sitting at the table,
 laughing and talking together.....

definitely not a quiet time, lol~
