The hope was to arrive home in time to put the kids to bed on Sunday night. However, we forgot that everyone else would be coming home from Vegas too! So besides tucking Josiah in when we got home (@ 10:30) I had to wait until morning to see them.
Ellie woke up @ 5:45, crying as she walked into our room. She was SO happy to see us. "Mommy, daddy, you're back"! Then she just held on as tight as she could. I tried to get her to fall asleep for the next hour. Not so much. Got up w/ her a bit before 7 and we went into the living room and I told her stories until I heard Josiah waking up. He was so cute. It was as if I had never left. He had his moose & both blankets and was more interested in the "cars" on his wall than anything else.
Josiah was very happy today. I could tell that he was happy to see us. Before Chris got out of bed he ran down the hall yelling, "dada, dada" and then pointed up to the bed. He was SO excited to see him!
Ellie spoke w/ her Papa (my dad) and told him, "I think my mom & dad are back" and then, "You can come visit later".
I can tell that they both had a wonderful time w/ my parents and Colleen but it's cool to see their excitement (and peace) they both have about us being back home.
