Midnight Treat

I have been pulling long hours at work and at home trying to get everything done that I need to before Baby Sister makes her debut. It is not unusual for me to come home at the end of the regular day to start my second shift (as mom), and then head back to the office after putting Trey to bed to finish shift #1/start #3 (depending on how you look at it). I do some work in at night on most days, but when I'm really busy, the office allows me to focus and be productive without the regular distractions of home (and reminders of everything there is to do in my "home office").

Yesterday was one of those days that I was at the office until late at night. When I came home, around midnight, I probably made a little more noise than normal. Before I knew it, out came a sweet little 3-foot-tall nugget who wanted to say hi to Mommy. He declared "I need kisses!" It was the sweetest thing I'd heard in a long time. We kissed and hugged and he went right back to sleep. Just what I needed after such a long day. :)
