Tonight I am hanging here with the kids as they chill out before bedtime. All the "routine" stuff is done and they are settling in to an "oldie but goodie" Dora. Rick is out with a friend and I actually have a quiet minute. It has been a busy weekend! Last night we went to the drive-in to watch Cars 2. It was supposed to be a date night for just Rick and me. After we realized that Cars came out, we decided to make it a family night. I was excited but not 100% sure how the night would go. In the end, it was great and the kids did awesome.
Today we rolled out of bed after 9 because we didn't get home until midnight. Everyone was a tad bit tired today but it was worth it. Rick took Maggie's toddler bed down and put up her big girl bed. I was a bit resistant due to the nostalgic side of it. Didn't I just put my baby girl into her crib on our first night home? The process took a trip to BJ's and Target. Finally, it was all done and set up. Maggie is so excited and happy with her new set up. My nostalgia was replaced by a smile from all her excitement.
So at the end of today I feel a tad bit emotional. Yes it could be from being a tad bit tired, the switch in bed or just the reality of my life. I can't say it any other way than I am so in love with these 3 people who I live with. Each one of them touches my heart and soul so deeply but in their own way. I have to catch my breath and as I do I feel this well up of emotion touch my soul. My family is my life and my oasis. There is no place I would rather be than with them. I thank God everyday that I was chosen to be Rick's wife and Mommy to the 2 best babies in the universe - Maggie and Ricky. It is an AWESOME gift and miracle!
