We (the kids and I) just returned from her house. She was there, and so was she. It was a really enjoyable morning--especially since the kids played outside most of the time and allowed for some conversation.

Before laying Gabriel and Bronwyn down for their afternoon naps just now, I asked Gabriel what he really liked about the morning.

The cookies, Mom. They were oatmeal and chocolate.

This seemed like quite the all-knowing response from a child who really doesn't know the ingredients of most anything, so I asked if Lael had told him that.

Yup.... She's my best girl, Mom.

Uh-oh.
