Family Hug

When I walked in to pick Wm up today, his teacher goes, "Can you come back into the art area for a minute?  William drew a picture today that I really want to show you - I saved it instead of putting it out in his art folder because I really wanted to do this in person."  So, inside I am freaking the freak out.  All sorts of awful possibilities are running through my mind...WHAT did that kid draw?!?!  So we get back to the art area and she pulls out Wm's picture.  I have no idea what it is.  So Chelsea says, "William, tell your mom what you told me."  He gets all shy and refuses.  Chelsea says, "William painted this and when I asked him what it was...he told me it was him, his Mommy, and his Daddy all hugging."  She said she took a picture of it with her phone because "it is the reason I do what I do."  She wanted to make sure I knew what Wm drew because it was so meaningful to her - and she knew it would be to me.  I came home and immediately framed it.

Here is a picture of it (ignore Wm's weird face - he is sort of smiling, but also a bit pissed because I told him to put his rice crispy treat down while I took the picture - note it still clutched in his fist):
