Words I've been wating to hear.....

Today, in the chaos of making chicken alfredo in our very tiny kitchen (all meals seem to be a family affair in our house), Nolan looked at me and said, "I love you, Mama" and reached right over and gave me a hug.  I must say, I have been looking forward to the day he would say that since he was born.  Not only was it totally unexpected, but it made my day incredibly awesome and wonderful.  I'm pretty sure I'll never forget it.
