My husband...


Shan left for NY yesterday early, and when I woke up I found a sweet note on the mirror thanking me for taking care of him while he was sick. The truth is, I really didn't do a very good job. I was bitter he was sick, resentful at having to do so much extra work and doubted the severity of his illness. Clearly why I got it, but I got showered with chicken noodle soup, talking rain sparkling water, a get well soon balloon (from Lucca) and roses. Needless to say, I feel like the worlds worst wife so I thought to make up for, I'd share some of the amazing things I love about my husband.

1. This is not the only note he's left, he often leaves me love notes on the mirror.
2. He brings me coffee in bed
3. He plans the best secret dates
4. He always gets the best seats to my favorite bands well before I even know they're coming
5. He relishes being a dad
6. He's so good to my family, he calls my Grandma "Grandma"
7. He lets me be me
8. He understands the importance of my girl time
9. He keeps me active
10. He lets me sleep in both days every weekend while he takes Lucca to the coffee shop
11. He works so hard at a stressful job he doesn't love to provide for us all and enable me to stay home with Lucca
12. He's so fun to cook with
13. He's not perfect, but he continues to try to be a better husband, father and man.

Sorry love I didn't take better care of you and for reminding me of why I love you so much.

We miss you.

Santa Train

Before we left for Salt Lake we took the train to Snoqualmie to go see Santa. The train was rickety and so charming. Lucca loved the train, I think even more than the Santa part. I have to admit, it was a little anti-climactic but still a fun journey. Lucca had fun so we had fun watching him.
This was the entertainment for the trip. This man came through and sang a song to put us in the spirit. My handsome man...


This was after about 1/2 in line, we actually weren't as bored or irritated as we look.
I love this photo for Lucca's face. It's like he's looking at us saying "Seriously, hurry and take the damn shot so I can get my toy and get off Santa's lap already!"


All Aboard!





How adorable are my boys...
