Jack of All Trades

My hubby stayed home from work today, getting some odds and ends stuff done in preparation for Hurricane Irene that is gonna brush by Maryland. He made sure the trap doors to the basement were sealed tight, looked at all the windows and inspected caulking, and went on to the roof and found a place that was questionable - so he patched it. He then proceeded to go over to E's godmothers house and inspected a window in question and picked up some yard debris to take to the dump. He then went to his best friend's house (E's godfather) to help him move all of his deck furniture off of his rooftop deck.
 How great is it that he is quite the jack of all trades! From being an engineer by profession to drawing amazing architectural drawings for house stuff. Then he can rebuild a carburetor on Bender, or look at the suspension on my SUV to make sure that noise is OK. He can do anything around the house, anything - design and install our whole office complete with custom counters or update the entire electrical system in our whole house. How about the flowers and prosecco he surprised me with last Saturday or that he takes E in the mornings on Saturdays to give me some sleep in time (which I SO love to sleep in). Then there is the fact that I have been with this amazing guy for 15 years this week. We were only 16 when we started dating, and we have been together ever since. Not one breakup. We have been married for 8 years now, and I feel like this whole new chapter was just opened when E was born. Folks, he is a wonderful daddy. He loves his boy, and his boy loves him. He is home most everyday at 5:45, so he can play with E, eat as a family, and then he gives E a bath and puts him to bed (sometimes together because I love nighttime snuggles).  I love the fact that we do this crazy parent thing together so well, often laughing, sometimes frustrated (E is a toddler). I hope that E grows up to be just like his amazing daddy, because he is one heck of a guy <3.

E's first heart to heart with Daddy

Brand new chapter
