A new kind of post...

Up until this point, my blog has consisted of a collection of events, happenings, and notes on what the girls are doing, but I am going to start writing about somewhat more personal and spiritual parts of my life.

One thing I have not written enough about is my amazing husband and my love for him. Although he is not able to work and support the family yet, he has taken on 1/2 of with housework and raising the children, often putting my parenting skills to shame.

Lance is a naturally amazing parent. He has this uncanny way of being able to discipline the girls as well as be the ultimate playground for the girls at the same time. Both of them cry when he leaves and swarm to him and climb all over him like little monkeys when he comes home. He makes them giggle uncontrollably just by looking at them a certain way. They squeal with glee when he plays with them, and they both crawl all over him like bugs on an antpile.

So what does this do for me??? When I see him calm the girls like a professional parent and make them go from crying to laughing in an instant, it makes me fall in love with him all over again. Is this yet another reason why we become parents? To fall in love over and over as we travel through this journey we call life together, grow together, raise children together, and experience hardships together? I watch Lance interact with Ava and Olivia and melt as I am in awe with this man that I have married... my perfect companion. Words cannot describe how happy I am that I have such a strong, handsome, and amazing man. I never thought I could love anyone like this!

I am so glad that I am having this experience in this life, for marriage and happiness can be an amazing thing if you allow it to be.

And by the way... Happy 6th Wedding Anniversary Baby!
