Back to reality and loving it.
I have to say it was 7 days of paradise....but there is nothing in the world better than running down the concourse to your 4 amazing children who are waiting on you to arrive. It was especially emotional because it was exactly the same spot that we waited for our beautiful niece, Hannah, to come home just 3 months ago. Talk about the ugly cry.
While the sounds of the ocean were tranquil and serene, I can honestly say that listening to Abigail announce Madeline's debut recital on the piano (Happy Birthday is the song of choice this evening.....and just to be clear, she randomly strikes keys as the song plays in the background) is just as wonderful.
She has Gabriel on one hip and is playing the keyboard with the other hand. Life is good. Life is very good.
