48 hours

In less than 48 hours, all nine of my children will be together, under the same roof.

For the first time.

To say that I can not wait would be a huge understatement.

Just thought I’d share with y’all, since I know y’all can appreciate the joy of having all your babies together… in one nest.

Don’t know that any of the oldsters in my crew would appreciate being referred to as ‘babies in my nest’, but whatever.

    I understand! I LOVE it when all of mine return home for a visit. There's nothing like having them all sit around the dinner table and talking!

    Oh that is soooo cool!! Lots of pictures and lots of memories – and yeah – our oldsters live with the fact that we call them 'babies' – even if a couple of them are big enough to lick their ol' man!

    hugs – happy for you –
