Today...September 2, 2014

Today is the day AFTER Labor Day...the cue for the "back of Summer to be broken" and for it to suddenly be FALL! Unfortunately as I look in the upper-right hand corner of my computer, I'm noting 94 degrees outside; remember this is Texas and if it's under 80 degrees on Halloween we're lucky.

My cute nearly-17 year old son Noah just came through the front door from school--The Noah. I always let out an inward sigh of relief when he's home. Not that I worry that he's in trouble or anything; it's just that we have this"connection" and I like it. He's getting close to 6 feet, but all I see is a marshmallow teddy-bear. (He'll still even admit that he missed me during the day!) So I just rummaged through the freezer and found ice cream and casually slid it under his nose when he sat down at the kitchen table. I see a happy little smile and then, "Thanks Mama!" Shoot! I don't care if he eats the whole dad-gum carton--with JUST a spoon and NO BOWL!!!

After the Twins were born, something deep down inside reminded me that there was STILL one more to come and not to get too comfortable--(how exactly do you do that with twins?) Anyway, I'm so glad we listened because we were gifted with-The Noah...Yes today, always, and forever I am thankful for NOAH!
