I’ve been working in the DFW area this week. Last night Alison had me over for dinner. I had a home cooked meal with her, Trent and Carter. Actually Carter slept while we ate. Trent was so cute. He must have eaten a plate full of green beans (Note to Brittany…green beans, HAH!). Alison mentioned what a lovely diaper Trent would give her in the morning. Ah, the pleasures of being a grandparent…no more diapers!
What struck me this morning is how special it was to have dinner with my daughter and grandchildren; at her home sitting at her table! It isn’t something I get to do very often. It was so normal, simple and wonderful.
Later in the evening I talked with Adrianne and Brittany. Just small, everyday talk…the simple stuff family members share. The simple stuff I so miss sometimes, I guess it adds perspective to my life by reminding me of what beautiful, accomplished daughters I have. Two of them mothers raising children, making their way through life; the other starting out, finding her way; all of them doing it with grace and dignity…
I love you girls!

I wish we could see each other more often too!! I'm glad you got to come over for dinner last night. I love that Trent & Carter have such involved grandparents in their lives; family is so important. I love you dad!
We are very fortunate to have such great examples guiding and helping us! I promise, as soon as we get a dining room table, you will be the first to get an invitation over to eat at it. No worries, Nigel will cook!
