4My , you are going to kill me, but we flat forgot, even though I carefully put it under the tree. I already have to mail her some things the kids left, so I'll pop it in.

The BBQ went over big, and I made mashed potatos which assuaged my feelings some. The babies were really adorable. The 2 yo is the size of a 3yo and quite smart. Little one doesn't seem to have any signs of brain damage. Felmel is right about that. I think her idea that he was so little new brain paths were made is right.

Her J and S, and our B & N played together beautifully. Interestingly, when they split to play in pairs it was N and S , and J and B. They all seemed to have fun. Felmel (if you can believe this) painted a teeny picture of 2 sailing ships (one a pirate!) in a battle for B's model house. I was SO impressed. B is thrilled. We are all loving the buckeyes and she needs to post the recipe.

Such good teens. They spent most of the time reading, and T was able to talk on the phone. Such a great invention! Instead of being an irritated teeen dragged away from her friends during the holidays, she could easily keep in touch. I wish I had had one when I was a teen.

We had a really great visit and had a lot of fun. Felicia was able to say to DH, "See, there are people with more junk than we have!" Actually, she was tactful enough to say stuff. Only thing wrong was that the visit was too short! Good as a respite!
