By the end of the day the gross weather had gotten to all of us, and around 4:00 things started to go quickly downhill. Of course the second both kids start screaming and crying, each wanting their Mommy to hold them, Shaun sent me a text saying that he would be late....very late getting home that night. He must have heard their crying on the other end of the phone when he had called earlier to say hello. Thankfully, Shaun was able to get home just in time for bedtime. And here comes the part that reminds me how lucky I am to have Shaun as my husband... After he had worked a 13 hour day, he walks in the door scoops miss Lillian up with a BIG hug, gives me and Whitten both kisses and imdeitally asks, "What can I do to help you?". That will make any stay @ home mommy fall in love with my man! He then spent thirty or fourty minutes reading and talking with Lillian while he put her down for bed and I bathed Whitten. But wait their is more...after all of that the man makes a list and goes to the grocery store at 9:00 at night! I had, in my deffence, planned on taking the kids and going that day but it rained all day. Not a good idea to try and load and unload groceries, a toddler and an infant while it is pouring on all of you! Looks will fade, weight will fluxuate, money runs out, but a man that is willing to put that much effort into our family is someone you can be with forever. Lillian, Whitten and I are all very lucky- and grateful, very grateful!
Here are some pictures from Monday morning and early afternoon...before things went awry.
both kids are smiling!!
Lillian's hero...and mine too!

AND after ALL that, Shaun still has time to go to the grocery store during his lunch break and buy ingredients for mac-n-cheese! What a great husband!
