Thanks, Heidi. I definitely think that Starbucks cards and other heart-through-stomach methods are key. Open wallets, open hearts (within reason of course). Good luck with the visit-!

It is hard to have the chick-a-dees off in other time zones, much less other countries. So glad to read that your daughter have you those three glorious months last summer. I’m hoping for three glorious minutes (really days) when I’m traveling on the east coast with my 18 year old daughter for her spring break. Think I should load my Starbucks card!

Thanks, Ann. Happy birthday to your son!

Maybe there is a reason for this. Today is my eldest son’s birthday (44-hard to believe) and each year on this date, I remember the moment he was born–the moment I realized in fact this was a “real” person, not just a lump. Anyway, suffice it to say that revisiting feelings I have, and have had, about my own children’s comings and goings (mostly goings) was hard to allow myself to do. I knew, just reading the first few lines, that this is what this piece would do to me.

But perhaps even more importantly, I LOVE your hair :) And it was your hair that caught my attention even before I got the rest of the photo’s significance. Lovely to see!!!

Thanks, Kim. I, too, always feel best when everybody is under the same roof–at least until the mess gets to me!

Thanks, Elin.

My daughter’s in-laws live in the UK, and my deepest fear is that they will end up living there, too. Bad enough she’s in NY, and my step-daughter and her husband are in NM. He’s military, so they could end up overseas, too. The thing I want most is to have all my kids together, and I don’t know when that might happen again.

Genius plan! It’s practically the same thing. Lots of noise. People up all hours of the night. Cobblestone streets (they’re really just Legos but the effect of walking across them is the same!)

Thanks. May I send my daughter to you instead of to Spain?
