i survived.

Matix is now officially home from his trip, and I couldn't be more excited about it.

I officially survived two weeks without him. 

Luckily I had a couple of fun trips with fun friends to help keep me distracted. 

Everything went well as far as his vacation to Texas. 

Grandma Cindy said he was a great traveler and was really good for her.

He got to see his cousins, go to Chuck E. Cheese, had barbecues, and went to the zoo.

Every time I talked to him on the phone, he was excited to tell me about something else.

Speaking of, I really noticed how conversational he has gotten 

since I talked to him on the phone so much.

I felt like I was talking to a little kid, instead of a baby. 

It's crazy to think of how big of a kid he actually is.

Since he got home yesterday, we have spent a lot of time kissing and snuggling and saying I love you's.

I cant even begin to describe how exciting it was to come home from work 

and see his face light up when he saw me!

He ran and gave my a hug and told me how much he missed me. 

It melted my heart.

Then he gave me a little present that he got me.

He picked it out all by himself and could hardly wait to give it to me.

It is an elephant mood necklace. And I am wearin' it proudly. 

He told me he got the elephant because I don't like lions :)

Man, I sure love this little kid. 

It's good to have him home.
