Finally...

they are home...
I am very blessed to have two wonderful people as in laws. They are like my own parents without all the childhood memories. Anyway, I talk to my mom in law every day (She is just a terrific lady and not having a real mom growing up I feel God sent her to me to fill that void) ---I digress, that is a whole other blog maybe even two.
My in laws went to visit her mom up in Northern California and they were gone for a little over a month. Now I cannot count how many times I picked up the phone to call her to tell her something funny Jack had done or ask her a question or just to check in on her but would remember that she was not home. I was counting the days until they would be home. And my father in law would send postcards to Jack, my son, with little notes that he will treasure forever. Everytime I would read him one he would yell "Papa". So I got the phone call tonight that they were FINALLY home --- and I knew FINALLY I could pick up the phone tomorrow and call my mom.
