Anticipating a "homecoming" and Food.

I am excitedly awaiting the "homecoming" of Alex from Seattle (and recently from Oxford). It is only 5:30 here and his plane doesn't arrive until 10:00 pm into GR, but I am already getting giddy. Now, let me explain giddy, because it is not like a teenager gets giddy. It is mom giddy. That is a very different thing. It is not primping and fussing about makeup and clothes and how I look...it's about cooking and baking and making sure his bedroom/bathroom are comfy, cozy, homey, and his favorite things are stocked in the fridge and the pantry, and his favorite treats are setting out in his room. I know it is a crazy thing, but I love it. I love it when my kids come "home". Plain and simple I LOVE my kids. Next to my spousal unit they are God's best gift to me. So bring on the giddy happiness of anticipating Al's arrival home. If you need to find me I will be in my kitchen or somewhere in my home prepping the nest for my offspring's arrival. (and I will do this all over again on August 11 when Matt comes for a visit)
Just a side note, my son Scott lives in town and I sure hope he realizes that even though he doesn't always get the super extra special treatment every time he comes over, he brings me much joy every time I get to see him. He is truly a special kid! (or I should say young man)
