This is neither here nor there, but since I started this email talking about 15 soup recipes, it makes sense in my crazy head to tell you that our home was filled with 15 teenagers yesterday afternoon. Somewhere in there, our 5-year old Bonus Boy tried to capture all the attention by "accidentally" falling off his chair twelve times.
We ate food, made plans for a big church youth rally we're hosting in February, and ate more food (because I had a bunch, and then someone brought a load of donuts). Teens are awesome, as are silly 5-year olds.
And one more thing!!
Last night, we got to watch our two college sons perform in the York College Concert Choir - the very choir I was in many, many or something like 27 years ago. It is tradition that during the singing of the final two songs, any alumni that want to join can climb right on up onto the risers and join in.
Asa and Justus were standing side by side, and their ol' mom hopped right up in between them. I CANNOT TELL YOU how much joy it brought for me to be on the risers between my two oldest. And wow am I short? Or are they just tall?
