Silence Has Fallen At The Norris House
Last night my parents left for home and this morning my aunt and uncle left. I am pretty bummed because I had such a great time with them. A lot of the time they were here we also had friends over, so there was always movement and conversation going on in the house. From early morning until late at night there was always something going on. Now that everyone has left the house is silent. Mostly, I miss the noise. In other ways I am glad it is quiet because then I don't feel like I missing out on anything if I am in my office working on the blog or on the ministry.
The last couple of days we stayed pretty busy going for Dim Sum with Uncle Willy and his family, hosting a big dinner with crab and steak, and playing lots of cards and Dominoes. Last night after I dropped my parents off at the airport, I went out to dinner with my aunt and uncle. It was kind of like the last hoorah.
I guess now that they are gone I am going to have to get back to work and start getting serious about some things. I have been slacking in some areas of my life and in my work and I need to get myself back on track. I feel like I have been off since Hurricane Katrina. So, I need to get focused. John and I have a lot to do before the baby gets here. We really need to get ourselves emotionally, spiritually, and physically fit so that we can have the stamina to keep up with a new little person.
One of the ways that I am working on my spiritual stamina is by doing a daily devotional. My sister, my mother, and I are committing to reading this book throughout the year. It's called the Devotions for Women on the Go. They are short and simple devotions but they are very good. I highly recommend this book.
I will share some of my other goals and intentions in the coming days.
Here are some pictures of the last few days with my family:
New Year's Day Breakfast. My Uncle Rusty cooks the best breakfast!
My Mom and I. We took this picture before we left for Dim Sum.
My Dad and Uncle Rusy eating Dim Sum and being silly.
John and I.
My Uncle Willy, Me, and My Dad.
Mom sitting on the floor of our office.
Having fun just hanging out!
Our last card game before everone left.
