Talk About Empty Spaces

I took down the tree yesterday, and all of the decorations. What a mess! But it's funny how big and empty that space is now. It didn't always feel so bare! Jayden keeps saying he likes it, more room to run around and all.
By the way, Jayden's birthday was wonderful! Pictures to come... At one point in the evening, the kids were runing around the house, at full speed, at full sound. Adam looked at me and said, "The lady downstairs is on her way up!" It was such a great feeling knowing that we can make noise, run around in our own space and not have to worry about any neighbors below. So, thank you Texas, for being such a big place for us.
