What can I say besides "thank you"?
As I went through pictures looking for some to share for this post, I was reminded of all of your hard work. If there are pictures you aren't present for, it's because you're busy at work. But what struck me is that I was there for all of the pictures snapped in our photo library. I am there everyday, able to document our children's childhoods because you are working so hard to support our entire family. If you weren't pursuing your career and being so awesome at your job, I wouldn't be getting to stay home with our children and doing what I love.
This stage of parenting is not easy. We spend a lot of time just trying to meet the needs of our kids. This leaves little time for letting loose and being silly. But, as you can see in these pictures, we are managing just fine. We are meeting needs, having laughs and making life happen everyday.
I couldn't do what I do without you. For all the desperate phone calls at 5:24 pm with sceaming, crying children in the background...there are a million more days that I am grateful that I'm here with my kids. And I couldn't do this without you. I'm not the rock star of home management that I'd like to be but it's not lost on me, or the kids, that you help take up the slack.
So, thank you. Thank you very much.
