AT LAST!

Well over this past week I have missed my boys to the point of crying. Yes crying. Adam asked if I wanted to go up and pick them up from the train stop in Memphis. I said, "yes", doubting my decision. Like, I thought I was going to get shunned from them or something. That they wouldn't be themselves.

We left NLR around 7pm and got to the train stop by 9:30. They arrived shortly after 10...Dylan saw us and lept into my arms a big bear hug. Holding onto me with only his arms around my necks and his legs wrapped around my waist if I let go of him, he would've still be hanging on. Then he went to Adam and did the same thing...but hung on a little longer.

Kobie just gave us a quick hug and that was it...but later that night as we tucked him bed (at the lake house). Our normal routine is Kiss, Hug, and High Fives. Adam leaned down to do our usual routine and Kobie started crying and said, "I missed that daddy". It was sweet.

We woke up and were out the door by 7am. My mood in the car changed drastically. I had all my chickens in view. Was I concerned about Adam's driving in the rain? NO...Was I nervous or anxious about anything? NO...I was at peace; able to sing and dance silly in the car. Listening to Kobie's laughter and Jacob talking to someone else for a change. Dylan slept on the way home.

My life IS Stressful, Challenging, and Chaotic, yes...but it's SO MUCH FUN!

I feel ya! I missed Jaci so much. As I always say, I love it when they go & I love it when they come home. haha

My favorite time of the evening is when they are both in bed (finally asleep) and I can go in & cover them up, kiss them & then just stare for a minute & thank God for my babies.
