All

is well in my life again. Today my baby returned home safe and sound. He was so excited to share stories of all the things he did.  He did mention a couple of times that how could I have sent him into the wilderness for nine days alone and if I would have been able to survive without my family. I totally understood where he was coming from and deep down inside I knew he was right but I strongly believe this adventure will help him grow and learn to be more independent.  Everyone told me he did great but he was really homesick.  I can't wait to see pics of the trip but I'll have to wait patiently for those.  Here are a couple of pictures we took today when he came home.

I bought him a bunch of welcome home goodies. He really wanted some Crazy Bands so those were definitely a winner.

I love this picture of him reading a card I bought for him.  I love that he's at an age that he can understand and appreciate the little details that I do for him.  He keeps all the cards that I give him. It really makes me one proud mama...

These were the top three things he wanted to do upon arrival.

1. Take a long hot bath
2. Eat a plate of Mac and Cheese
3. Watch TV for as long as he possilby could.

He accomplished the first two but only lasted one hour on number three... Poor baby was exhausted and fell asleep holding up his chin. I tucked him in bed and gave him a kiss on his forehead.  All is good again.

Goodnight!!!
