Happy Anniversary to Us...

*Note to self: We need more pictures of us together. :)

It's never lost on me how lucky I am to have such an amazing guy for a husband. He's a true partner and friend. He's an incredible dad who is patient and kind. He tells me I look beautiful even when I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant, swollen and alternating two outfits that actually fit. He works so hard to provide for us and rarely complains. He is also brilliantly smart. And, he's not bad on the eyes either. Haha. I think actions speak louder than words though so just this week here are some examples of what makes me love this guy:

1. The other day he was teaching Jack about the solar system and rocket ships and boosters and the atmosphere. Then he went on to teach Jack about the Greek alphabet. I'm not sure what the correlation was between the two. But, I love that he encourages the kids to learn and grow and doesn't baby them.

2. When he comes home from work after a long day he takes Lily up to change her because the thought of me walking up the stairs just one more time and hoisting her onto the changing table is exhausting.

3. He indulges my to-do lists and set up the bassinet last night--which, trust me, was much more complicated than it sounds.

4. When I had a complete meltdown over the fact that I continue to pack on weight with this baby he says, "Carrie, you're pregnant and you look great."

5. He cleaned the playroom up while I went to the store last night because just bending over right now is a feat in itself. I can mop floors and wash countertops but the actual picking up of the toys is a huge task!

6. He puts the kids down every night and when he can't, they get upset. They love their dad.

Life has been a bit crazy lately and I expect it to get even crazier (in a good way). So, I think it's important to take a break and wish ourselves a happy anniversary. Woohoo!
