sound of silence

My parents and brother left this morning, and the house is suddenly very quiet.  They're not loud folks, and we actually weren't even around the house much, so I'm sure it was never very loud.

However, I'm noticing the calm after the storm, so to speak, and realizing that our week with them was really active.  

In light of the quiet, I think I'm going to take a nap with the Obi's and catch up on some rest. Blogging can wait, right?

Happy New Year, if I don't catch you before then.
