moments of serenity

Today was a good day. A very peaceful day. Dear O was gone for about 4 hours, berry picking with some girls, and it's amazing the difference in the house when the kids are seperated. Whether it's just L home, or O, they seem like different kids, than when they're together. The house is very peaceful, they play contentedly on their own, we can give them undivided attention, no raising of voices or saying stop that or do this. Was it really this easy when we just had one? I guess it was, boy, life sure has changed! It's not like they fight lots, but even playing together is noisy. Some days it seems like there is hardly a quiet moment. So today just felt extra peaceful and serene.
