A Night Out With Grandpa

We had a wonderful dinner tonight with Grandpa Harrison. He is in town for business, which seems to be quite often the past few months. We LOVE it! It is so nice to have family in the area visiting us.

This is an open invitation to anyone who wants to come see this part of the country. We'd love to have you, show you around and lock you in our basement so you can't leave. J/K...we don't have a basement, the first floor bathroom will have to do (picture a roomier version of Harry Potter's pad under the stairs).

What a man, what a mighty good man!!

I'm sure you all know this, especially Karl's siblings, but I wanted to share with you just how wonderful I think my husband is.

We went to bed last night and I wasn't feeling well. I had a doctor's appointment at 9AM scheduled for this morning in downtown D.C. and I was not looking forward to it...not to mention I wasn't completely prepared with my insurance calculations. I slept horrible and woke up feeling worse than I did last night. Karl had originally taken the day off to cover watching our kids and the little boy I babysit for the morning. I ended up canceling the appointment and sleeping on the couch most of the day while Karl:

watched the kids during the day
made breakfast and lunch
got Conner off to school
did my daily chores, which included; vacuuming the house, sweeping/mopping the kitchen, laundry and cleaning 2 bathrooms
took CJay to school to meet with his teacher in my place
picked up dinner from Ruby Tuesdays and
watched our kids again so I could attend Enrichment

He is a wonder! Thank you so much to my father and mother-in-law for raising such a fine husband. Thank you, thank you, thank you Karl for treating me like a queen. I feel so lucky to have you in my life!
