never gets old

No one ever grows weary of hearing how much they are loved and enjoyed.

No matter how many times we have done this... or will do this... the result is certain...

When Daddy returns everyone crawls and clings for his affection.

Little people around these parts really love their Pop.

It really is a fun sight... and sound.

Hours of late night driving and arriving early morning... 

Slept in his clothes for just a few winks...

He offers and delights as if he is fully rested.

This momma can learn lessons here too... so often ready to trade hugs for "to do's."  

So much yet to conquer around Ridgegate and so little time before Pastor will pack up again.  

I need to mimic Mary... I need to choose what is best.

I also need to mimic Charli...

This little teacher has been full of valuable lessons regarding affection.  She just can't seem to get enough cuddles... making up for lost time, I guess... Again, I learn.

Bud makes his priorities known ... lot's of quality time with Daddy... kitchen, books, cars, trains... the list is endless... 

For now... good ole' fashioned couch time will do just fine.  Pastor enjoys some Heaven on earth.  

My kids delight in many things... they love the big and the small.  But when it comes to family togetherness...

They lock on and don't let go... 

Enjoying the gifts that togetherness brings.

It never gets old.
