We have a skylight above our bed and so in the spring when early mornings are light that means I am awake. At 6:30 am I knew I wasn't getting back to sleep and of course my moving in bed woke up the hubby. We decided to get up and enjoy our coffee as we did not hear any little sounds coming from the other room (usually it is drink your coffee in 5 minutes because we have to walk out the door or get the kids ready). Ahhhh...I usually do not get up quite this early if I don't have to. But, I have to admit it is my favorite time of day because it is not just our house that is quiet but the world around me is mostly silent except for the birds singing outside and a few cars going by.
We enjoyed coffee and breakfast outside on our patio furniture and talked about our landscape and what we liked and what we want to improve on (yes, some people may think we are a little nerdy, but we love to landscape with perennials, etc and I love that my husband enjoys this too).

Quietness and calm are all over! Kids are up (oh, but I love them)! Amazingly when you get up early we leave for church thinking we are late, only to realize we have a few minutes to spare! At church, all the young kids give their moms a carnation so I felt special to receive one from Izzy.
After church, Ced and another friend decide to take us out for lunch...very nice to not have to cook! Lunch was delicious...kids were NOT on their best behavior and I unwantingly met the kitchen staff as Izzy ran through the open kitchen door with me chasing behind in high heels!
Now all is quiet and Isaiah is excited to see Grandma and Grandpa tonight. Of course we all are but when I say Grandma and Grandpa are coming Sunday, he repeats me and gets an excited look on his face (wish I could permanently capture the look for the future because I don't want to forget those expressions).
