Its Saturday evening and we are home, curled up on the sofa with blankies. What are you and your children doing on this cold evening?

My boys are home. Moo invited his friends over before he goes back to Cape Town and they all go back to varsity.  

I have seven big boys sitting at the dinner table laughing and talking about what boys usually talk about. Laughing and laughing some more. It’s a beautiful sound. They are not troubled by our presence, they don’t even seem to notice we are here. 

And I realize just how lucky I am that I had two boys and not girls…it’s a wonderful feeling. The laughs mixed with the deep voices….I love it and I love all seven of them tonight
