My husband and I have recently become 'quasi-empty-nesters'...it's a bit odd since I had forgotten what a quiet house sounded like. So it's just us and the cat most of the time =} God blessed me to be able to homeschool our children for 12 years which gave me precious time with them, I would never trade that time for anything. They are my heart and I love them so much. I hope you enjoy my ramblings...
