full house

When Daniel’s home, the refrigerator is always full, and so is the house.

I love it.

His friends are grown up, but they still hang out in the kitchen with me.   Not that I’m cooking.  Mostly I’m talking.

Although I do cook breakfasts.  It’s my specialty, and I love when I  find out that some of them have spent the night.

Mostly they’re camped out in Daniel’s room but sometimes there’s an overflow.  So when I wake up in the morning,  I never know who I’ll find sprawled out on a couch in the family room.

    I used to love hearing you talk about your children, and now I love reading about them. It is my favorite topic you write about. Maybe it is the “new mommy” in me, but when I feel like this time is going too fast, I read your blog and realize that when my baby gets “big”, it will be just as fun! Thanks for sharing your life with all of us.

    Wow – your son has influential friends. Can he get me an autograph?

    What is it about their friends hanging out here and even cooking for them? Now that my son is older and back for summer, I love this too. Like a last hurrah before he’s really gone??

    Thanks to all of you— think your comments prove the emotions surrounding being a mom doesn’t change– no matter how old the kids are.
    Elisa–thank you for such a thoughtful comment. I look forward to meeting your baby sometime—enjoy every minute!

    I can relate to this post, as our home was the neighborhood hangout throughout my son’s childhood. When he left for college, I mourned the loss of his friends hanging around almost as much as I missed my son. But they do come back if you keep the proverbial door open and good food in the kitchen! To me, you’ve done something right if they come back and want to hang around at your place!

    I feel the same way you do, Cindy, and always keep the door open. Maybe moms with empty nests should open a chain of youth hostels across the country.
