Home!

It's hard to believe that AJ's freshman year at Purdue is DONE! If feels like just a few weeks ago that I was a weeping heap of a mess as we drove away, leaving him to fend for himself in Indiana.

He arrived last night, home to stay for a few weeks until he jets off to Germany with his new best buddies for a 10 day adventure.

We were all VERY happy to see him, including Jill and Harley. (Pardon the poor picture quality - I grabbed my little point & shoot and apparently the lens was a mess.)

It's fun to know that some things never change...I left the house early this morning for an appointment and when I returned I found AJ and Pickle in familiar places...on the couch in the living room, playing Guitar Hero.  Welcome to my wonderful "normal". 

 I'm SO glad to have him home. My life feels nearly complete again. The only one missing is my Dad. I know he is as proud of AJ as the rest of us are.
