Yesterday was the wife's birthday - which is like a federal holiday in our house. We had made some plans, but had found that our school lives, schedules, etc. were making it difficult to complete those great birthday plans. But then Mother Nature intervened with just enough snow to get us out of school on her birthday. Amazing how things work out sometimes, isn't it? So, we were able to take the kids to preschool for a half day, just long enough for us to go eat Indian food at Mela, look around at Jessica's favorite downtown stores (like Minx and Urban Outfitters), and just generally spend an amazing day together. Then we picked up the boys, and spent an amazing afternoon/evening with them - just lovin each other. Noah even intentionally let her win the big Uno game last night. He has a kind heart. And that was only the beginning.Tonight, my parents are coming to town - certainly armed with more comfort food and birthday goodies (including a specially designed cake made by my sister in law, Jennifer) for her. Everyone is excited. Tonight - we eat cake!
I speak for all the boys when I say that we think that Jessica's birth is the most important thing that has happened to us. . . ever. Here are some really great things about her:
1. She loves to dance
2. Her # 1 priority is always to be a good mother to our children.
3. She is the ONLY person I know who shows an equal appreciation for Fugazi AND Taylor Swift.
4. She brings my coffee upstairs to me every morning, and it is always in my favorite mug.
5. She overcomes.
6. She has amazing penmanship.
7. She has good intentions.
8. When tired, she loves to watch sitcoms from the 1980s.
9. She always prefers to be outside.
10. She is an amazing writer. Read this.
