Special little lady


I love my little Audrey!
We just finished an awesome camping trip up in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons with both kids. At one point Adam's cousin Noah came to join for a night and I realized I needed breakfast stuff to cook for all of us so Audrey and I headed to the store.
She was so excited to come help me and I was thrilled to have special Audrey time! As soon as we got into the car she suggested listening to a song called "Marvelous Little Toy" on the way there and daddy song called "Surfin Birds" on the way back. And so we did... I turned it up fairly load and started rockin out to "Marvelous Little Toy" and Audrey just squealed with joy and promptly joined right in. We sang at the top of our lungs all the way down to the store.
Before going into the store, I told Audrey everything we needed. She was the perfect little helper. She reminded me of items, helped pick out meaty bacon and un-cracked eggs. And she even helped pay the cashier during checkout by handing him my card.
It was a perfect little Audrey date.

Nursing funny

Nurse: "I need to put in a new IV since you pulled the one out."
Drunk gentleman: "Yeah but it's right here in my wallet."

Re-set

It's nice to know I have a partner in life who can give me the time when I need a re-set and one that I can reciprocate the favor.
After returning from a draining camping trip with the kids being grumpy, I needed a few moments without them. So Adam, being the awesome person he is, offered to take the kids biking to the store to give me 20 minutes to take a shower or whatever.
So shower is what I did. And it was GREAT! Exactly what I needed. It was my re-set.
Afterwards, I went downstairs and waited for Adam and the kids to return. He walked in flustered! Apparently, Audrey's bike broke halfway to the market and she becameextremely difficult for Adam.
He walked in and said he needed a re-set. SO... I repayed the favor. Adam took a shower and got his re-set while I fed the kids lunch and put them down for a nap.
We make a great team and I love him for it!
