A nice dinner with most of the kids... he smiled a lot and that makes me happy. His gift didn't come in the mail like it was supposed to Sat. so we had no gift to give him but i got the feeling he didn't mind a bit. Part of me knows he was reeling in the fact that everybody was getting along lol. I know part of that (not minding not having a gift) is because he knows if i ordered it online and he knows i did this time.. i spent MUCH more time into what i was getting. He knows it will be a nice gift and not something we picked up at Walmart at the last minute. HAHA

I think he feels he could do more and be a even better father too. Of course he would not admit such a thing but he knows. In his heart he knows he should lose weight and he is probably feeling it too. His hair is grey now.. well not completely yet but it getting there quickly. He watches t.v. too much and doesn't help around the house enough. When Taylor was spitting spit wads through his straw as soon as they brought us the drinks he knew... it was ALL his fault that our son would do such a thing at a nice restaurant!

He is a big kid and i LOVE him. He IS a GREAT FATHER!! He gets better and better at this being a husband and father thing everyday. He is a great man and his love for us all at the end of the day can fill a room. He is so quick to make up and easy to persuade and a strong man would die for any one of us without hesitation.

He is lucky i see his heart IS in the right place. He is lucky i think grey hair is sexy. He is lucky his daughters are still his little girls know matter how big they get. And i think he sees the potential in our children and wants them to be the best they can be at all times even if it means he has to drag it out of them.

I love him deeply, softly and with all my being. I think he even saw humor in the fact that peanut insisted he had to go poo-poo(pee-pee) twice during dinner. I saw him watching our son shove food into his already full of food mouth in awww. Really who knew a child that small could put that much food in his mouth. I would love to know what he was thinking when peanut wanted to eat off my plate instead of his own and i commented that i guess he was just used to sharing my dinner with me when we go out.
