We have a huge tournament in town this weekend so things have been a little crazy. Trying to fit in volunteer time, games, getting Grampa to the airport and all of life's other suprises has been a little daunting. We are still waiting on my nephew to decide it's time to come too. Brandon was a little relieved he didn't come on his birthday. He realized he doesn't share well :)
The boys had a nice visit with Grampa but were sad to see him go. Brian and his sister sold and closed on their mother's house and I think both of them felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders. I am praying that this weekend is not too difficult for them. I think Mother's day makes those wounds break wide open again. I feel it because I miss my mother-in-law but also because my Dad used to always say that he didn't need to do anything for my mom because she wasn't his mother. Since Hunter has been born this has also been Brian's philosophy of Mother's Day which just reminds me how, in many ways, he is a lot like my Dad.
I need to do a little catch up too...
Apr 24. He enables me to spend quality time with each of the kids individually.
Apr 25. He realizes he needs to make an effort to be encouraging.
Apr 26. His thinking-things-thru process is faster and more thorough than mine.
Apr 27. He is an amazing negotiator.
Apr 28. He has a smile that is all mine.
Apr 29. He can ease your mind and remain level-headed.
Apr 30. He is teaching the kids the value of money (Probably better him than me.)
May 1. Nine years ago today he gave me a mini version of him who keeps me on my toes.
May 2. He filters information quickly but draws conclusions slowly.
May 3. He doesn't shy away from hard work.
May 4. He was able to fix something and was proud of his accomplishment (ok, downright giddy as a schoolgirl.)
May 5. He made all the boys feel like superstars as he handed them their soccer trophies.
May 6. He still kisses me like he means it.
May 7. He makes it possible for me to do volunteer work.
