Winter Homecoming. First, let me say that it's taken me a while to get used to having multiple homecoming events each year. I'm going to show my age when I say that when I was in high school, there was one homecoming and one prom. Not anymore. We have Fall Homecoming, Winter Homecoming, Prom and a couple of "not so formal" events in between. Thankfully, we have boys - I can't imagine having a girl and having to find (and pay for) that many dresses!
Anyway, this is just one more post of how much I love being a mom. Nights like tonight make me smile. When the boys were little, I thought to myself, it doesn't get much better than this. Wow, was I wrong. We've gone from matchbox cars, Barney movies and Superman pajamas to real cars, taking a date to the movies and suits and ties. Just when I think we've reached the "best" age, it gets a little better.
So tonight we'll have dinner with W and his friend and they'll take off to play video games, watch movies and stay up way to late. Jeff and I will enjoy the quiet evening and wait until the stroke of midnight when H comes to join them. And when I go to bed, I'll count my blessings a little louder.
