It’s been a glorious two weeks.

For a window of time, all the kids were home along with spouses, fiance and grands.

Counting PB and me, that makes thirteen…and counting.

Two more babes will join the tribe this year.

Here are some lessons from the past two weeks:

Keep looking out for each other.

You can never have too many bubbles.

If you just keep sucking it up, something good will happen.

Chocolate chip cookies are best at Nonnie’s house.

Make sure you get a little sunshine every day.

Things aren’t scary when someone big is holding you.

It doesn’t matter if you have a booger hanging out of your nose as long as you’re happy.

Double chins are cute.

Don’t under-estimate the power of a good nap.

These are the Glory Days.
