As the mom of three grown girls (28, 30, 35)I understand what you are feeling, as I have been there. The older I get, the more I reflect back on that happy, full, often chaotic time of my life, and wish I could have it back again. I didn't do as good a job as you, as I did not make the dinner table a priority like you have. But I'm proud that my daughter with children is doing that; it's very important.

Family first is so important because your girls are learning so much from you. Love reading your thoughts as you watch your beautiful girls blossom. You, my friend, are on the right track! Keep loving them and feeding them those awesome pies!

When my kids (24, 20 and 18 and 1). were all still at home we ate together every night and then jobs and sports and activities sometimes interfered, but not as often as you'd think. It's better to eat dinner at 8:00 or 8:30 then not together and if one had to eat at a different time I made sure they never ate alone, always sat with them. And according to my kids we were kind of the odd ones for doing so. Any way don't sweat the changing times, you know your relationship will only get better, knowing when to step in and when to let go is a learning process on your part and on theirs when to ask for help and when to be independent. You got this girl!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231046548406452925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909051016007644645.post-67893607740045085882014-10-02T14:19:57.530-04:002014-10-02T14:19:57.530-04:00What a beautiful post!

Know they will always need you, just in different ways.
