The college boy was in town for a few days -- semester break. Loved having him home, even for a brief stint. It felt like a fraternity house this weekend around the Simon house. We had a house full of boys which means lots of food & fun. Absolutely my favorite way to spend time ... cooking and hanging with my boys. I love them all...
Having Brandon home and Harrison & Spencer around with all their friends was the perfect medicine for my aching heart. This week was plagued by the loss of too many young sons. I have posted about their tragic deaths. I still can't wrap my arms around how a Mother ever gets over losing a child. I guess that's why I was feeling like we should really embrace the kids these past few days. Keep them close & snug to us. So we did.
Checkout this picture of us all at dinner...
lots of laughter & smiles! Given the sad news this week I was so happy to be surrounded by my family and to relish in their company ... it's what life is all about!
I successfully made it to 50 and completed my goal to Blog daily about the experience. Now it's a New Year and time for new beginnings... Join me as I chronicle life as an active political operative, writer, empowerment speaker, mom to three sons, wife, daughter, runner, friend, and mentor. We're going to have fun so please come along for the ride!
