Coming Home

My favorite time of the day is when I walk into the house after work.  Matt usually beats me home to relieve either my mom or our nanny - whoever is watching Grace that particular day.  My ride home can't end soon enough.  I don't have that long of a commute but a 30 minute drive is enough for me to wish I could say "beam me up scotty" and be home in a flash.  The whole ride home I am thinking of how I can't wait to hold my baby girl in my arms and kiss Matt hello.

I'm greeted by Petie & Peep at the back door but I quickly brush by them - not giving the dogs as much lovin' is something I am not proud of lately.

I hear Matt say "Who's home? Gracie, is that mommy?"  And as I make my way into our den - I see Matt holding Grace looking in my direction both smiling and I'm happy. 

Grace's smile spreads from ear to ear.  I love this little face. 

She starts her "talking" which is more like grunting.  I put my bags down and take her from Matt.  I give her kisses all over her face and ask her how her day was.  We cuddle, smile, hug and kiss each other.  Matt leans in gives me a kiss hello - and I'm with my family.  This my friends, is my favorite part of the day.
