We celebrated 13 years last month and I am feeling very blessed. The past few months I've struggled a little with a few different things. Some minor health things, figuring out the whole mother or 4 thing, hormonal up and downs, starting up work again, and trying not to stress about nursing. I KNOW that my life in comparison to most is very uneventful and easy. I don't have extremely difficult trials of sickness, death, or financial stress. I am grateful for my life and especially for my family. I know we are being blessed because of our service in the Lord's name. I do have to continually remind myself of that. WARNING: I'm going to brag about Ron in this post. I'm really excited and thrilled at watching the man and father he is becoming. He's always been a good guy but the past few years our marriage has reached some pretty exhilarating highs. I'm not the best at articulating my feelings but here goes! He rarely complains about his meetings and church responsibilities. I love nothing more than to listen to him bear his testimony from the pulpit. He is not a man of many words (except when he has an argument for you) but when he speaks from the heart it really moves me. I believe because he doesn't get much time with the kids he values the little time he is given and makes every moment count. He comes home and immediately starts helping me with bedtime or dishes or whatever. Callie is 100% daddy's girl. Well, when Daddy isn't home all day and still not home by bedtime she's not too happy. We all miss him sometimes but Callie definitely expresses it the most. EVERY single night this girl ends up in our bed. It's to a point where we have a makeshift bed on the floor (Ron's side of course) just for Callie. The other night I woke up at 2am to feed April I came out and found this on the couch. (Sometimes Ron falls asleep watching sports)
Poor Ron lays by Callie every night he is able to until she falls asleep (And sometimes until he falls asleep, haha). I'm sure most people judge us and think we need to work with her and train her not to need this. But I just look at it as it's some precious one on one time that she needs. 2 days a week Ron is in charge of most of the morning routine when I leave for work. I try to do as much for the kids as I can before I leave but Ron usually ends up with the bulk of morning responsibilities. The other day I left for work and didn't have time to do Callie's hair. She was a little worried but Ron assured me he would handle it. I chuckled and thought this would be interesting. I got this picture and the following text a few mins later.
"Not too bad huh?"
I love Ron more and more everyday. I love watching him with our kids and I love just spending time with him even if the time I get is very limited.
