Home is where the heart is

I will always remember this day. This was the first day since Max was home from the NICU that I left him with a sitter. (his Nana Janning)  It was nice to get out of the house and celebrate Eric's promotion since Max had been a bit frustrating that morning. 
Max was going through his little 4 month growth spurt (if you can call it that...lol) so he had been super fussy and independent lately. But, when I came home from Eric's ceremony Max eagerly and sweetly cuddled up against me and fell right asleep on my shoulder! It's so fun to have that moment when you realize that they missed you because they truly recognize you as their mom and dad.

Hopefully having this drawing will remind me of these moments when he is all big and grown up!
