A happy note...

On a happier note, we are going to the beach this weekend with our friends Greg and Katie. I am taking off Friday (I had already planned this before I had to miss Monday and Tuesday) and we are leaving tomorrow night to go down to the beach for a long weekend. Sam and Lily are excited. They love Greg and Katie and I really think Katie and Greg love them too. It's going to be a nice, relaxing weekend with no stress. I have to come home tomorrow and get packed, but once that is done...low stress.
Aaaahhhh! Now...if I could just find myself a new lower stress job then life would be grand!

By the way, I just have to say how cute my little boy is with no teeth! He has lost both of his top front teeth and he is just adorable. One of the permanent teeth broke through the gums today and I am so sad about it! I wanted him to keep his sweet, snaggle-toothed smile for a while longer.

And Lily informed me the other day that she was "upset with me" because I wouldn't take her to Dairy Queen after her dance class. She did a great job at the fair "twirling" with her dancer friends. She's such a character.

And while I am bragging on my family, let me just say that Brad has been a fantastic husband while I have had all of my problems. He has been doing laundry like a madman and he has taken the kids to church and Lily to dance class. He even got someone else to cover for him at scouts Monday night so he could take Sam to PTO/Open House at his school. I am so thankful for him sometimes. I'm so lucky that he's not a lazy, lay-around-the-house-doing-nothing husband. He is always busy and my kids absolutely love being with him and helping him "work". Sam got some new work boots the other day and he has wanted to go "work" with his daddy every chance he's had since. And even Lily has started calling herself "daddy's girl". Sometimes it worries me that we don't have more interests in common, but I think we complement each other very well. Where I am lacking, he is strong, and vice versa. And it works. I guess God knew what he was doing with the two of us! Sometimes I think I really don't deserve him, but I am really glad I have him.
