My oldest daughter is in college and the next two teens spent a week in Mexico on a mission trip. It sure was quiet, and there sure was a lot less clutter around. On the other hand we really missed their input, and it is worth cooking again now that they are home.
We are the parents of four children. Keith works as a manager of auditors in the health insurance industry. Margaret is a SAHM who home schools two of the kids, having graduated two who are attending college.
