40 days!
Its monday! We drove the boys to school this morning only to frown because they were with their dad for this week. We celebrated Dillon's birthday last night. He turned 10 years old!!! Double digits! I can't remember when I turned 10 but I won't ever forget his.
Turning 10 is like turning 16 yrs old, 18yrs old or 21 years old. Its a significant birthday for Dillon, he gets to be 1 0.
Dillon loves spaghetti and meat balls. His future Grandmother, my mom, cooked spaghetti and meat balls. He loved it more than Christmas Morning, maybe not that much. Sunday night in the Peacock Household is family supper night. (My family was born in the south and Supper equals dinner. It gets even more confusing when I explain that dinner equals lunch in the south. Thats another story in itself.) My mother and father feel that blood is thicker than water. The foundation of my parents and my life is built around family. When I attend Florida State University and lived in an apartment I still attended Family Supper Night. I even brought some of my friends over for Sunday Dinner and they still talk about it today. (The best time is Thanksgiving, 40 relatives under one roof packing on 5,000 calories of home cooked food. My friends still look for an invitation for that holiday every year.) Its consistently attended by my Mom's Sister Stacy and her family, and cousin Erica. Other members of the family attend every now and then but its rare. Cassie and the boys have come to love Sunday Dinner. Aunt Stacy and Uncle Bob have 3 children as well. Aubrey, Annette, and Patricia. Aubrey is 17 like Dustin, and Dillon, Ethan and Patricia are all 1 year apart. Roughly 13 members of the family eating and bonding on Sunday together.
I just love how my new family is being assimilated into my own family. I am smiling just thinking about how in one year my life has changed for the best. I love you Cassie, Dustin, Dillon and Ethan.
