Wow, just recovering from a great visit from my dear friend, Robin. She flew to SC, with her 2 young children, and stayed for 5 days. Yes, she is still alive, flying alone with 2 babies didn't do her in. And, we had a great time. Here you see us in the car going to watch the movie "Cars" at the theater. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful friend who would actually go to all the trouble to come visit just so our children would know each other. And now that they're all gone, my house feels so lonely. So, what did I learn from 5 days with 4 children all 3 and under?
Well, #1, When young babies go to bed at 10 and get up at 6:30, they really do need a nap. So do their mommies. Enough said!
#2, Grilling is an art. Bryan had to work late & I was planning a cookout with another friend who flew with us at Delta. I wanted to bbq chicken on the grill. I didn't even know how to light the grill, first of all. Or, clean it. Or cook on it. To summarize, more chicken ended up stuck to the grill than was served. Next time, I'm leaving any food cooked outdoors to the man in my life, Bryan.
#3, our babies are only babies for such a short time. And even though life is sometimes really tiresome & frustrating, I have to remember that this moment will only last such a short time. One day I may wish for the days when my babies cried out for me during the night & argued over who would get to sit in my lap.
and finally #4, friends are so precious & worth all the effort of staying in touch when life gets busy. I'm so thankful for my friend.

Great insights! You were born to be a mom.
FYI....in case you ever want to try grilling again, PAM for grilling is great! Just spray it on before you light the grill and the food don't stick and the grill cleans easily!
