Welcome Home

I recently returned from almost an entire week away for work. Visiting New England immediately after the worst blizzard they've seen in many years didn't exactly thrill me, but I was with terrific colleagues meeting with wonderful clients, and now we have some pretty great stories to tell.

The hardest part of the trip, of course, was being away from home.

The two absolute best things about returning?

First was being welcomed at the door when I arrived at 10 p.m. with this:

[Love the fact that she has me holding an entire tray of drinks. Must have known how badly I needed it after my trip. The fruity concoction in her hand, of course, is juice]

And the actual reunion when she woke at 6 a.m. the next morning?

Priceless.

Second was discovering a blessed surprise outside at 6:30 a.m. that morning.

Oh yes. Some mama has been very busy over the past couple of weeks.

Getting to ready two more little ones into our environment.

The beautiful cycle of life continues. I, for one, could not be more ready.

So very good to be home.
