Wow, I can’t beilieve my boys are 15 and 11!  I remember when they were babies and now, they are so grown up.  My oldest just came back from visiting some friends in North Carolina for the last two weeks and I did miss him.  I went to the airport to pick him up and I had planned to put some steaks on the grill as a welcome home dinner.  Well, we weren’t home for more than an hour when he came to me in the kitchen and said that his friend Rudy just called and wants to know if he can hang out.  In the mean time, my steaks are on the grill and dinner was just about ready.  I didn’t have the heart to tell him no, because I remember what it was like when I was a teenager.  Oh, well, he’ll eat when he comes home.  I’m sure he missed his friends almost as much as he missed me — NOT!

Anyway, I’m glad he had a good time on his trip and I’m glad he’s catching up with his friends now that he’s back.  Dinner can wait…
