Home...*contented sigh*

Haha! Mostly I wanted to see if I could figure out how to get a picture on here.  And I did. Behold three of the most lovable people in my world!

There's my mommy, who is the most amazing woman I know, straight up my favorite person in this world, my best friend, and all other wonderful things moms are. Everyday when I come home between my jobs for lunch she makes me lunch—it's so good to remember what it's like having your mom take care of you. (I LOVE college, but the Mom factor trumps pretty much everything.)

Abby is cheesing it up in the middle there on her big stuffed tiger.  She makes whispered roaring noises when she sees animals, or pictures of animals—doesn't matter if the animal roars or not.  Duckies are the only exception at this point because of her bathtub duckies.  And her word for ducky is "Daddy!" She calls everything Daddy except Mom, me, and bananas.  Bananas and I are both "Nana!"

And that handsome guy on the right is Davis, my huggable 13-year old brother.  How many 13-year old boys are huggable, really?  But Davis is a sweetheart.  He has certainly grown up a lot while I've been away.  He was not a huggable 12-year old, that's for sure.  And he's funny now, too!  I think he was a little funny before, but this kid keeps us all giggling.

There you have it, folks, 1/3 of my familia.  I don't have good pictures of Dad, Katie, Clayton, John, James, or Christian up on my computer yet, but when I do the introductions can continue.  For now, just believe me that they're all adorable and I absolutely adore them all.  And while I'm super excited to head back to the Y in 2 weeks for summer term, I really really really don't want to leave home again just yet.  You definitely learn to appreciate what you had when you suddenly don't have it at close proximity anymore.  At least I do.  But we've got two weeks and the sibs will be out of school on Thursday!!!!! Party! =)

Quote for today—(courtesy of some skater kid in Katie's yearbook)—"If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space."  Do I believe that? Nope, you know me.  But it gave Mom and me a good laugh.  Maybe you had to have seen the picture—the kid was sitting on a skate jump, helmet in hand—he totally believed it.
