We had such a nice weekend.  Great music at a neighborhood concert, getting together with friends and finally all my guys are home!  There have been lots of coming and going this summer and I’ve missed them but have been so happy for the things they’ve experienced.  When the boys leave for more than just an overnight or two, it’s always bittersweet.  I want them to have new experiences, meet people outside of their normal circles and get a taste of what it’s like to be on their own.  Again, I miss them.
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are great for breakfast, or as a snack.
