Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Pictures from 2 Years

March 7, 2010 — 12:04 am

Dinner went well, everything got done thanks to my absolutely fabulous husband who did practically everything while I was at work. I walked in the door prepared to really dig in and get cleaning and cooking, only to find that not only had he followed the list, he’d pretty much done everything. He is awesome. The day passed quietly, peacefully, with just the right amount of remembrance and respect. We had a couple of family members mention that they’ve bought something for baby girl, but they didn’t bring it tonight because they felt it was Devin’s day, not hers. But mostly it was just a gathering to eat and chit-chat and just come together as a family. As it should be.

It appears that I have a tradition of getting a photo of myself, Sheepie, and the gift I buy for Devin every year on his birthday. It just feels right to do.
