Today we woke early to a deep orange horizon and a few twinkling stars left in the slowly brightening sky. We have another week of school ahead of us. I try to get up fifteen minutes before the rest of the children. I sit in the dimly lit living room, turning on as few lights as possible, and listen to the hum of the fridge and the silence of the house while I read and ponder.
Soon the silence is broken by the creaky bathroom door downstairs as kids shuffle in and out before coming up for scriptures study.
In the evening, I lit up little pockets of our home to enjoy while we all did various activities. Right now we have littles who go to bed early, middles who go to bed shortly after that, and bigs who are up doing homework or entertaining themselves. The house is always full.
