Happy Father's Day?

Sunday was interesting. It started out with me locking Jonah and the keys in our van and waiting for 30 minutes for a locksmith to come and unlock it, meanwhile Jonah is screaming and I am standing next to the van crying because I feel so bad and I am so mad at myself. Andrew woke up with a bad headache so he was going to take some pain killers and come to church later. I felt terrible when I had to go wake him and tell him what had happened. He was so patient. I am grateful for a husband who never gets mad at me for the stupid things I do.

Jonah was not dealing well with church and he smashed crackers all over the floor to the point that I had to go get a vaccum from the Janitor's closet. Needless to say, we were happy to be home from church. Andrew and I would have loved naps but the boys weren't cooperating, so instead of Andrew taking a nap and me taking care of the boys, he stayed up with me and helped. I am grateful for an unselfish husband who puts others' needs before his own.

In the afternoon Andrew discovered that a tick had burrowed its way into his flesh. That was a first for both of us. I can't believe how tight those things hold on. He kept joking all day that he was feeling flu like symptoms! I am grateful for a husband that can make light of a bad situation.

I made Andrew a denim quilt for his Father's Day gift and he wanted to snuggle with it all day and he even put it on our bed that night. He was so appreciative of all the work that I put into it. I am grateful for a husband who enjoys the simple things in life.

I love you Andrew Leroy and am so grateful you are the father of my children.
