My Little Prince Is Home

This is my little prince. He has been home for seven days. He was gone for six weeks. I have never been away from him for longer than a few days. It was a long six weeks. He took a red eye flight home and since he was an unaccompanied minor he had to get off the plane last. I was waiting by the gate because I had to get a special security pass and meet him at his gate. This random lady getting off the plane walked up to me and said is your son on this flight? I said why yes he is. She said oh he sat by me and he was such a good boy. He slept the whole way home and she had covered him up with the blanket and made sure he was ok. I was so glad that he was good on the flight. As he got off the plane he was just waking up so he was a little groggy but he woke right up when he saw me. I was of course crying because I was so relieved to have him back and he thought something was wrong. I just told him that I missed him and loved him so much. He has fallen right back into life here at home. This picture that I am posting is one that I took last night. For some reason he loves to draw mustaches and beards on his face with markers. I have told him a million times to knock it off....boys....I am so happy to have my little prince back home with me. I think that he missed me a little. Every day when I get home from work he runs to the door and gives me a big hug and that always makes my day.

Yay! I'm glad he's home.

He's getting so big!! I'm sure he missed you A TON!

So, are those permanent markers?? When does he start school?

There is nothing quite like the warm fuzzies you get when your kids excitedly greet you. Maybe you were only gone 20 minutes to the store, but they come a-runnin' with a big hug. For some reason it makes me feel really special. Braden is such a great kid. And what a blessing that lady on the flight was!
