Little Hands...Little Feet...Warm Heart!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've written last.  I'm back now and want to share a quick story about something that touched my heart today.
Little "Guy" aka "Fat Jack"
So I am in KC working for a few days and am delighted because I have a lot of family in the area (my sister and brother and their families, my favorite aunt and cousins, and an uncle) so it always does my heart good to come to KC. 

I arrived late last night and after picking up my rental car, I drove straight to my sister's house.  By that time my nieces (Brooklynn, 6, Kennedi, 4 and my nephew "Guy",3) were fast asleep.   My sister and brother-n-law had not told them I was coming so they had no idea. 
Brooklynn
The next morning I woke up to them screaming my name "Tee Tee!"  "Tee Tee!"  "Tee Tee!"  When they recognized it was me, they climbed onto my pallet, laughing, grabbing me, trying to get close to me.  Kennedi was in my face (so close I couldnt' see HER face) calling my name.  Brooklynn was scrambling to get underneath the covers with me...grinning from ear to ear.  Guy, after figuring out who I was, began tapping me saying "Tee-Tee Tee-Tee".  When I finally acknowledged him he looked at me with a smile as wide as Texas and said "Hi!" 
Little Kennedi
Their climbing all over me quickly reminded me of all of the sore spots caused by my intense personal training session the day before.  Ouch!!! 
The pain was well worth it though.  As a matter of fact, I wish I could wake up to that every morning.  It was the best way to greet a new day!  Sore muscles and all.
