Sounds like you are in a very good position for the job. Unless you think they want to hire from the outside (which management does often, and also hides well, seen it happen), you're probably in the best position as anyone to fulfill the job.
The only thing that would lose it for you is to get all lovey-dovey in the interview and start talking about you and your family and all the emotional stuff. Keep it objective. Answer their questions. Know what they're asking you, and keep it within the box. Show them you're the man and you know your stuff. Keep the family out of it, they could probably care less because everyone and their mom has a story to tell.
I've conducted many, many interviews, and nobody wants to hear an emotional story when you're trying to illicit hard, data driven, objective knowledge and skills in an hour or so. Just show them you're the best person for the job. Make them think twice about hiring from the outside if they're considering it. Show them you know stuff that nobody else from the outside would know. Show them you know the company processes (the right way) in and out. But pretty much, it sounds like you're next in line for it anyway. Hopefully the interview is just a formality, so be yourself.
