Here's a visual: me and why I love my job...

Love! 

This was taken about two months ago - shortly before Solomon was born. Last night Mordecai and his dad were running around like crazy people screaming with glee and pretending the 'Big Bad Wolf' was coming. He's big on pretend right now so there is one million fun games to play. At bedtime, I thought there would be a fight because he was so wound up. But he just ran full speed crashing into his little toddler bed and when I leaned to give him a kiss and tell him how much I love him, for the first time ever he said 'Love you too mama'... He is this really amazing, confident, funny independent guy and one day he will create something brilliant or become a trash collector and either will bring tears to my eyes.
