We are Family
I only got one sister so can't sing "I got all my sisters and me" but I do have a wife and kid. Over the weekend I drove up to WVa and moved my wife and stepson down to Atlanta. They are officially here to stay and we are living as one big happy family. It's been a long time since my house has felt so alive or since I looked forward to going home at the end of the day from work. It's been a good 5 years since I had a 24/7 kid at home for the first time in 4.5 years so it's going to be a learning experience all over again. Right now he's still between calling me Dad sometimes and Steve others and either is really ok with me, it's just nice to see how wide his smile gets and that twinkle in his eye when I come through the door.
I dont think I have tell anyone how wonderful or beautiful my wife is. This morning she said she'd make me a sandwich to take to work and when I opened my lunch, I found two delicious sandwiches, some pringles (my favorite) and desert chocolates waiting for me. I would have been ok with just a sandwich since I've never taken much or eaten much before but the obvious love she put into it just made my heart melt all the more.
We're still in the process of unpacking and rearranging things in the house but we're officially open for visitors so next time you're popping thru Atlanta, feel free to give the Syren's a shout and sit a spell.

For some reason, I thought Syren Boy was coming later. That is great that he is there now.
Just wait until you have 2 in the house 24/7.
