Well he came and went quickly but it was so good to see him. I know it's only been around 5 months but it seemed like forever. It's hard that it was such a fast visit. But something is better than nothing.

The visit started out a bit rocky but it all worked out.

He looks fantastic. He's happy and that makes a big difference. I figured he would love Alaska. Of course the country is beautiful. No one can deny that. Plus he likes the cold. Not at all like me. I seem to have less tolerance of it since I've gotten older. I've seen enough snow and ice in my lifetime.
Serif was so happy to have her Tom-Tom back. That's the nickname that I had for him when he was little so I let Serif use it with him too.
One of the presents he brought her was a neat children's book about Alaska. He got to be the first one to read it to her.

On Saturday Tom, T and her family all gathered at Missy's in order to spend more time with Tom. It was such a great visit. We hadn't seen them in so long. Their little one has grown so much. He and Serif just adore each other. I would have a picture but neither one of them stopped long enough for me to get a good one.

Here's a picture of one of my favorite guys. He's going to break a lot of hearts before he's done.
Here's Tom trying to slow the kids down. Trust me, it didn't work for long.
Of course the guys had to play wii. What's a get together without the wii these days?

Tom left on Tuesday so on Monday he and I were able to get together for a little one on one time. It was so special to just sit and visit with him. We had Mexican just because he was in Texas. Then we went home and just talked some. It made me so happy to see how much he had grown up being on his own. I knew it was the right decision for him. No matter how much we miss him.
