To all of you dad's out there! I hope you get to take it easy today & you enjoy any special treatment you receive.
I really slacked off on my daily posts about Jeff this week. It was harder than I had anticipated, not so much coming up with things, but having Hannah sick. That threw our whole routine out the window, so despite the fact that Jeff is an enormous help around the house & a "hands-on" dad, it was all we could do to just survive the week. Neither of us did much of anything that didn't HAVE to be done, because of our exhaustion & focused efforts on Hannah.

As I think back to the events of the week I am reminded of what a wonderful support he is & how important his efforts are to my daily survival. He is a great listener, & I use him for that often when I just need to vent or talk & don't need advice or any kind of fixing. He has great shoulders to cry on. He is light-hearted & gives me perspective, since I tend to take things too seriously. And despite the fact that when he makes a huge mess weekend mornings cooking breakfast & playing with Hannah, I know that they are both having a good time! That is what really matters right? So I love the balance that he brings into my uptight, overly obsessive mannerisms, & more importantly the balance he brings into our partnership as parents.

Trent balances me out in so many ways too. There has to be those differences to make a more functional family I think. I am glad that you have such a great husband/daddy in your life now. Feel free to vent on my blog anytime:)
