An Open Letter of Thanks

Hi Honey,

I just want you to know that I love and appreciate you. I know how much you do and how much you've done this past week, especially.  I understand it's you that gets the kids ready in the morning and out the door to the sitter and you take care of me and change most of the diapers and and clean up dinner and wash baby poop out of the tub and put our son to bed. I see it all, and I understand that's not what you'd prefer to be doing but you do it anyway without complaining. And it makes me love you more.

You moved away from your family for years, simply because I wanted to live elsewhere. You gave up a job you loved working with people you liked so the kids and I could be more comfortable. That can't have been easy. You go along with any hare-brained scheme that comes into my head and when I peter out on it, you just let it go and finish the project quietly. And it makes me love you more. So thank you. 

Thank you for being the world's best husband and father. I truly truly appreciate all that you do. 

My heart is yours. I am completely devoted to you.

VACATION!

I've been lazy, but I have an excuse! I'm on vacation! Only, it doesn't really feel like a vacation.

Think about it: What do I do all day? Take care of babies. What am I doing all day? Taking care of babies at my momma's house. See? Not a vacation.
I am now of the firm opinion that a vacation is a break from what you normally do. Therefore, if our kids are with us it's a trip and if they aren't, it's a vacation.
I need a vacation. Guess what? I'm starting to think of this ankle surgery as a vacation because the children will be with other people all that day and S will be with different friends every morning of the next week. Now if I can just figure what to do with V...

S and V are having so much fun with Grandma! I will post more snow pictures when DH has a few seconds to help me. (I'm still figuring out our new setup.) In the meantime, some are on Face Book if you look me up and happen to already be my "friend".
