One home, one to go!

I picked Thomas up from school less than an hour ago.  I didn't realize how excited I was to see him until I actually did.  I had arrived several minutes early, and was sitting in the lot reading a magazine while I waited.  When I glanced up and saw the first bus pull into the lot, I involuntarily began to cry.  I hadn't expected that!  I didn't jump out of my van right away (not wanting to appear overly anxious, and also not wanting anyone to notice my tears), and waited until the second bus arrived.  When it parked I walked over to the buses, and I caught a glimpse of my little man, I developed tunnel vision.  He was still a distance away, and I just felt like I couldn't get to him fast enough.  It was so nice to have him home!  He has a busted lip from a face plant he took at lunch today, so I decided ice cream was in order on the drive home.  I'm so grateful that he had such a blast, and now I'm looking forward (very much so!) to Catherine arriving home in about 16 hours!
