My Favorite Thing

The house is much quieter these days since we only have Nathan at home with us now, so today I was looking forward to a visit from Joette and her son Michael (he's 2) and my little Jacob. I decided to order pizza for everyone because Nathan and I hadn't eaten all day. About 5:15pm Stephen shows up after work, then around 5:30pm Brandon decides to drop by, and then around 5:45pm Jason shows up with a load of laundry. Everyone was here! Grandpa and I played with the little guys and everyone was grabbing pizza and talking. I love having everyone home. The house was loud, there were toys scattered everywhere and so many people were talking at once that I can't remember a thing that was said, but it was great! And the best thing about it was that no one planned it. It just worked out that way. Now it's 9:40pm and everyone has gone home. Nathan is on his 360 and Joel and I are tired, but blessed. Incredibly blessed! There is no greater joy in this life than spending time with those whom you love most.
