I Love Being a Mom :)

First, let me say that I can't believe it was already a year ago that I was walking Hunter across the field on Senior Night.  I remember thinking then that we still had so much of the year ahead of us.  Time flew by in a second; he's been away from home for almost 3 months and some days I'm still in disbelief.

What surprises me more is their ability to keep a secret.  While I was fully prepared to cry when I saw Logan cross the field tonight, I was completely unprepared to cry when I saw Hunter in the band room waiting for me.  "It's Senior Night, of course I'm home." was the saying as I was standing there, crying and thrilled to see him.  Who knew that Will would be able to keep a secret for that long?  Now I know why he was so quiet all afternoon!

Needless to say, our house is utter chaos and I'm the happiest mom on the planet.  We're all wet and cold.  The dogs are beside themselves because Hunter, Shannon and Logan are here.  I've laughed, cried and smiled because my heart is overflowing.  They all surprised me.  That doesn't happen very often.  I wonder if I feel this way forever?  Will having them all home, sleeping soundly in their beds always make my smile a little bigger and my heart a little warmer?  Actually, I don't wonder at all.  I know the answer.
