A Brief Moment

Our dinners usually consist of 2 entrees. One for us and one for the kids. We've just very much given in to the "kid food" mentality because frankly we like our "adult" dinners. It's hard to have a crossover dish available every night that pleases everybody. The other night Luis grilled BBQ chicken and corn. (BTW, if you've never grilled corn- do it! With olive oil AND basted in butter- I'll never boil corn again.) We all enjoyed it immensely. As Gabe was scarfing down his corn and chicken, he looked over at Luis with a satisfied stained face and said, "Daddy, thanks for making this. It's REALLY GOOD." It was one of those genuinely precious moments I wish I could bottle up and enjoy later on.

Thanks for sharing that sweet moment, Carolyn.

One of my favorite meal traditions is the three or four Saturdays in fall every year that Scott cooks his potato soup and serves it with wedges of fresh apples, slices of sharp cheddar cheese, and thick slices of warm French bread. Mmmmmm. The best part for me though, is how excited ALL of the kids are when they realize that is what Daddy is making for dinner, and how they pour out the accolades to him while we are eating.
