Smells like ... The Boy's home?
No, that's not right!
Enjoy the family-togetherness energy! What's cooking for the boy's return? (His favorite dishes, I mean. :)
Oh have a wonderful time. My sons are always really excited when their sister comes home. Can't imagine what it will be like in October when she comes home after a year away - she;ll be battered and bruised by boys jumping on her.
It's great to have a huge age range in the family don't you think. I think yours is similar to mine (mine is 6-19).
Very happy for you. Looks like you all are having a great time. Tuck away those special memories.

yippee!!! your teens love Nirvana too? or are they your faves? i've been reading Anthony Kiedis's (from Red Hot Chili Peppers) autobiography Scar Tissue and he was friends with Kurt Cobain, among other famous musos/artists/actors/models. AK describes people in a wonderfully alive way.

*ack!!!*
*katie panics and dashes to library for delish recipe books*

oh thanks so much!! yeah, know what ya mean about battered and bruised lol.
D18 is quite the celebrity in these here parts!!
and yes, it often surprises me just how well all our kiddos get on. there's no such thing as age barriers between them, it's all about personalities/interests. they all share something with each other: music, movies, wrestling matches, rugby, jokes...
i really love that.

Meredith and Owen are Nirvana fans. Jesse -- quiet Jesse -- is more into heavy metal. Mer has several books on Kurt Cobain -- the biographies, the journals. I think that she was digging them out for Owen recently. (Thanks, Mer -- he's 14!!)
Is The Vegetarian avoiding gluten or can you make vegetarian pizzas? I know I've read you making doughs and pizzas before! I'm up at 5:00AM on a Saturday morning. can't sleep. I wish I had a pizza ...
