First Major (but really quite minor) Fall

Last week Logan had his first major fall while he was at the sitter's house. He has some pretty bad scrapes on his face (although it's hard to see in the pictures). They told me he was pretty tough (he definitely takes after his mom). I'm sure it will be the first of many...

What a Guy!

My dad used to have a coffee cup that said, "What a Guy". Dad used the coffee cup every day to drink his tea or coffee and so I can picture it very clearly in my mind and it's the first thing I thought of when I sat down to write this blog about my husband, Jesse. Jesse juggles many roles on a daily basis: father, husband, friend, manager, service advisor, housekeeper, drummer, etc... He takes all his roles very seriously and puts pressure on himself to be the best he can be. I often and regretfully take him for granted and add stress to his already stress-filled life (mostly because I'm trying to juggle all my own roles!) It seems his roles as father and husband have taken priority in the past couple weeks. Jesse is a wonderful father. As Logan develops his own sense of humor and his own personality, he becomes more and more fond of his father. They have become great friends. Logan's face lights up and he reaches out for his father when Jesse walks into a room. It's obvious that he adores Jesse and misses him when he is not around. They have spent a lot of time together recently and Jesse has even missed several workouts in the past few weeks because he would rather "hang out" with his son. Jesse is also a wonderful husband. Yesterday was my birthday and Jesse made me feel very special. For the past three years, Jesse and I have celebrated our birthdays for an entire week leading up to the actual birthday. We do something special for the other person each day until the big day. This year my birthday week consisted of a pedicure, massage, candlelight dinner with champagne, my favorite candy, some books by my favorite authors, lots of good food and a lottery ticket (it wasn't a winner, but it's the thought that counts). I couldn't ask for a better birthday week or a better husband or a better father for my son...what a guy!!!
