Spontaneous Family Dates

I got off the plane and thought about seeing my family and heading home as I started my Nursing job right as the plane landed.  I went down the escalator and as I looked up my daughter came running at me and yelled Mommy!!!  The other boys came from the side and they all embraced me with an incredible bear hug.  I was so happy to see them.  I gave Jim a super kiss and hug and we waited for our bags.  I was dealing with some phone calls from work but wanted to be fully present with my kids and hubby so I thought why not go to Dinner at Outback Steakhouse.  We jumped in the car and headed over to the Gulf Coast Town Center

I got a few calls from Nurses but I wanted to enjoy my family to the fullest and so it was amazing to sit with them and order off the menu together.  My Mom was with us and we all had laughter and great joy in being with each other.  The waitress came by and Mom and I were having fun looking at people and playing the category game of what kind of person they might be.  I looked at the waitress and Mom chose analyst and I chose promoter.  She laughed and said she was just about to promote the drinks on the menu and her shirt was full of pins that she promotes.  The kids laughed and Jim said you guys are nutty but had a good laugh with us too. 

Special times are here and now and I'm so thrilled with spending spontaneous time with my family.  I have to say tonight when we arrived home I got the most incredible hug from my oldest son Nathan.  He is 10 and usually it is just a quick hug but tonight was an attached hug and then Jake joined and then Lizzy joined and they said lets get Daddy to join us and Jim joined our HUGE family hug!!
