Love

This is my new favorite picture. And it's not really even that great of a picture in the grand scheme of things, but I love it. I love it because as most wives can attest, seeing your hubby nurture and love and play with your child makes you fall in love with him all over again.


I have lots of recent reasons to be madly in love with K. Aside from all of the charming characteristics he's had since the day we started dating, he's selflessly spent much of his time recently doing stuff for our home and our family - mostly stuff that I want him to do, not necessarily stuff that he would choose to do if he had a free weekend to himself. He's also been great about taking care of the little things - things that mean the most to me - like letting me sleep in on the weekends while he gets up with B, taking her outside to see the garden every night after he gets home from work so I can have a few minutes of peace and quiet after a long day, bathing her regularly - with crazy colored water!!! (Crayola Bath Dropz are the new hip thing around our house these days)...


This past weekend was one of the best family weekends we've had in a long time. In addition to the monumental Freebirds trip, we spent lots of time outside working in the garden and continuing to get things together for B's big girl room. The pinterest fanatics out there will surely have seen Ikea's Bekvam spice racks used as hanging bookshelves. Our local Ikea happens to be out of this product until May, so K decided to make some on his own that we could paint in fun colors that match B's bedding. B was a great helper and loved every second!




K is usually in charge of dinner on Sundays, and after spending much time on the phone with his bro (who is a chef) he came up with the following delightful meal - stuffed portabello mushrooms, rice, and brussel sprouts with onions and applewood smoked bacon. It was absolutely delicious and again - an example of his sweet and selfless devotion to our family.


See? Told you there's much to love about this man...
