In Praise of My Husband
I wrote this on New Year's Eve, but didn't post it. Here it is now.

OK, I can be pretty hard on DH. We've been together for a long time, and we grate on each other now and then. There are ongoing struggles and perpetual arguments. However.
I am sitting here right now listening to him singing with DS in DS's room. He always reads him a story before bed, then they sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and sometimes something else. Sometimes they read "Hand Hand Fingers Thumb", which DS knows by heart, the exact way that DH reads it. I do it wrong. *grin*
When I see him taking DD for a ride on the motorcycle or getting DS to help him fix things, I fall in love with him all over again. Maybe it's not the breathless romance of 15 years ago, but it still brings a little tear to my eye.

Funny. We can love them in so many different ways.
That is so sweet, Seana.
I know that same feeling.
So very sweet. We're beginning to develop moments like that around here with the Rottens and DH. It's quite cute.
You are a total, total sap.
Like from a tree kinda sap.
That was beautiful, Seana. And what a great example of a good marriage for your children!
I'm so happy for you. My Dh's latest idea of parenting is waiting for me to get back to pretend he wasn't playing online poker while the kids were tearing up the entire house.
ugh. He needs a shock collar.
Aww, Seana! That was so sweet. You and DH are very lucky.
Awww! That is sooooo sweet! I'm sure he feels the same way about wonderful you!
Very nice tribute. *smooch*
That's wonderful.
*big smooch*
I love observing those little moments when they are totally absorbed in each other.
(Oh, and Bob? Is the sappiest person I know)
Pretty little moments. Don't you love it when the whole family is at home and safe?
*good sigh*
I'm jealous.
Thank-you all. :-)
Rose: Poor you. Enjoy your visit with your friend later. I guess you'll have a lot of work to do when you get home. *hug*
HD: And? He's really hairy. *grin*
Bob is sappy? Wow. It was all the blowing up of stuff that threw me off.
Yep, they sure do have their moments :-)
So sweet Seana.
Bob is NOT sappy!
Bob thought that whole tribute thing was just silly and it it didn't make her smile at the screen and tear up a tiny bit AT ALL!
So There.
Bob is so mushy. She gets all teary-eyed at long-distance commercials.
The blowing up is to compensate.
Bob likes me! She really likes me!
I think that is beautiful!
*wipes tear from cheek*
That is so sweet!
