A moment.

There was an amazing moment yesterday.

SF walked in with her littlest and my three swarmed.

In an instant they were cooing and poking and telling her how much that they loved her.  And it was awesome.  As with any relationship involving kids there is that moment where you wonder if your kids will like the other person.  Then if they have kids there there is that moment when you are wondering if your kids will get along.

Yesterday was a moment of truth for me.

My kids loved her kid.  And they love here.

So there is SF sitting on the couch with four kids crawling all over her.    And I'm kind of freaking out, because I want my kids to behave and not jump on anyone.  And I'm trying to get the kids to settle down, and SF looks in my eyes, winks and says, "It's OK."

I felt my heart swell.

I can't express the emotions that were happening.

Here is this woman that likes me, and my kids, and my kids like her and her kids.  It is a nice feeling.  It isn't an uphill battle for once.

I like that.

PS - As a quick side note to the faithful readers.  I'm going to take it easy here this week, because I'm working on a project for someone that I hope to get done fairly quickly.  Then I'll be back in full force.

It was literally one of the best moments of my life. I wanted to kidnap them all right there and start our own country.
