Time Does Fly !

This afternoon, Emery and I were discussing how fast time the past 15 years have gone by.  It seems like just a short time ago, the children were all home, keeping us very busy.  Now, we seem just as busy but its in a different way.  Each stage of life has been wonderful and so full.  But there are times still, that I miss having  all those cheery children around the kitchen table, sharing their day with us.   How blessed we are to have the next generation so close to us, so we can once again hear that same chatter around our table from time to time.  
I never feel like we have an empty nest, just  a rearranged nest with a few more quiet moments that are none the less full of joy.
