There is No Place Like HOME




When we come home from a typical day at our local zoo and park in the back seat of our SUV I start hearing the phrase "NO HOME" chanted over and over again from our son who does not want to be home, but back out in the sun/fun. I give this background information so that you can truly share in the immense joy I had when I awoke to our son on Saturday morning at 8 am (we had put him in his bed at 3:30 am fully asleep from the endurance run home from our trip- and really expecting him to sleep in) running down the hall screaming in joy Mommy HOME Mommy HOME!! I caught him in the hall only to be dragged quickly to him room in which he ran around hugging every stuffed animal and object he had. I fell in love with him all over again! To my relief and utter joy we have been able to provide our child with a home he has fallen in love with as much as we have. Going from "No Home to HOME Mommy!" has been one of the most profound blessings from our vacation. We are HOME!!
