anticipation: 4:01 p.m.

The above image was taken minutes after I'd pulled the apple cinnamon muffins out of the oven.  The house was quiet; Marcus and Alex had left 30 minutes earlier for the airport to pick up his mother, brother and sister-in-law.

I love those still moments when you're waiting for houseguests to arrive.
