I want to remember...

I love this picture of the boys. It was from back in May, one Sunday morning when Dave was at school and it was just the boys and me. They were being silly and I wanted some pictures. I asked them to hug and here's what I got. Just precious.

I want to remember...time goes so fast. Just looking at this picture from May, I can see how much they have changed. I always think "I need to write that down" when they say something funny, or do something cute, and then I forget.

This past week, I was out of town for work for 2 nights, 3 full days. A long time to be away! Dave was great with the boys and they did pretty good while I was gone. I got home after they went to bed, so I was very excited to see them in the morning. They each got up at different times...

• Landon was first at 6:00...he came walking into our room, slowly to my side of the bed and once he realized I was in there, he gave me a huge hug. Loved it!! Later in the morning he said "I love it when you are home, mommy." Melt my heart.
• Aiden was next around 6:40...I went in to get him out of bed and when he realized it was me, he jumped up and gave me a big hug. He sat on my lap for a long time, snuggled up into my neck. Heaven!
• Austin was sleepy today and woke up after 7:30. He jumped up and said mommy and gave me a big hug. He sat with me for a while but it was funny- he kind of got shy after that. Austin tried hard not to smile or talk to me until I sat down with him at breakfast. Then he started sharing! It was great!

I'm so glad to be home!!!
