The Last Night of Peace and Quiet in Our Home for Awhile

A thought that has come to my mind tonight as I am making last minute preparations for our trip to Samuel is..."This will be the last night of 'silence' in my home. Some parents would be glad to give us their "noise" that they deal with on a daily basis...but more than likely they haven't waited like we have for over nine years to have "noise" in our home. I look forward to hearing "Daddy" and hearing my wife being called "Mommy." I look forward to hearing that infectious giggle. I look forward to hearing that little voice pray with me. Of course there is going to be some crying, but I hope to even cherish that "noise." Yes...I'm going to enjoy this "silence" tonight...but I'm going to enjoy the "noise" even more.
