Back to Reality

Today everyone is back home and our daily routine has resumed. Truth be told, I was really ready for everyone to return come Sunday evening. After a while it just gets a little too quiet and I start to wonder what everyone else is up to.

Yesterday Brian called me when he was about a block away from our house and told me to meet him in the driveway. As soon as William saw me he started kicking his legs and shouting, "Mommy! Mommy!" I think he's at the age where he doesn't really realize he's been away from me until he comes back home.

I kept asking, "Did you miss Mommy?!"

He replied matter-of-factly, "I miss Mommy."

We snuggled for a while on the couch and before I knew it everything was back to normal. I was sternly telling him not to do that and not to touch this. It doesn't take long.

Brian had a great time as well. If you caught a bit of the game on TV you know it was beautiful football weather. Bright sunny skies with a bit of a chill in the air. But not that that would have mattered to him anyway. Does it matter to any guy? Anyway, here's the picture someone took of him on his cell phone camera in front of the famous Notre Dame Touchdown Jesus. Camera phone = no flash so you'll have to squint to see Brian at the bottom.
