Random Stuff

Well we are really bored so I thought that I would just post some random pics. Todd is busy trying to play X-box and when I say trying I really mean it. He is doing ok I guess. I should be putting laundry away but I really don't want to so instead I am doing this and it is much better.


These are some of my favorites because Elena looks like raspberry!



My cousin bought Elena this Lion when they came to visit over the Thanksgiving break. When Elena saw it she was hugging it and giving it kisses so obviously she just loved it!

This is what happens when you give a toddler a pen. It took a while for it to fade even after a couple of baths!

I have many more random pictures so I think I will do part two tomorrow.

~BLUSHING!~

I feel a little embarrased about the nice things Lynda said. But having said that, I think that all wives should be spoiled and treated like princesses. I don't make any big sacrifices or anything, they are just little things but they seem to mean a lot to Lynda so I keep doing them.

One of the things I love is when Lynda asks me what I want for a meal. Sometimes I don't really have a preference but she tries her best to make what sounds good to me. I get my way a lot. When we watch TV she often lets me pick the show except when Law and Order SVU new episodes come on. ; )

She is very patient with me. We have never had a real argument and I think it's mainly because she patiently lets me explain my point of view or whatever it takes to calm the situation down. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining things but she gives me to time think it through and put it into words that makes sense to normal people.

I love how Lynda puts the laundry away because she knows I hate it. I don't mind washing it, but the putting it up parts sucks. I love how she mops the floor (which I never do) and does the dishes most of the time. I try to do my share of work around the house....why not? We both have full-time jobs....but she ends up doing the greater part and I appreciate it.

I love how Lynda likes to snuggle on the couch when we watch TV. The caviat is that I usually end up tickling her back/neck, but I like it alot when she leans over onto my shoulder or lies down on my lap.j

Lynda does so many sweet things for me. I'm truly a blessed (and spoiled) man who is just smart enough to realize how lucky he is to have a woman like Lynda. I love you, Babe!!

Thanks for the Little Things

I would like to thank my wonderful husband for all the little things he does for me (which to me are big)! Last night I had mentioned that my car needed gas and he went out in the freezing cold to put gas in it for me. How sweet is that!? I certainly didn't want to do it last night....I didn't even want to do it yesterday in the day when I went out to grab something for lunch. Just thinking about standing out there in the cold makes me cold! I know I am spoiled, I didn't put gas in my car for about 2 whole years because Todd would always do it for me. Especially since we would ride around together everywhere.



Also, I had mentioned that I am always freezing at work and he suggested that I take the extra space heater we have, I told him it was a good idea. He went ahead and checked it out to make sure that it still worked and he also got all the yuckies out if it so that it wouldn't overheat then he put it by the door so that I wouldn't forget it today. I thought that was just the sweetest!



In the mornings he would always go in to use the bathroom first before I would get in the shower and he would turn on the space heater so that when I would go in for my shower it would start getting warm in the bathroom. I loved that! He still does it but for himself because now he showers first (in case you were wondering).



There really is a lot he does for me, like when my legs get really achy he will rub them for me. When we are just relaxing on the couch he will tickle my back or my neck....oh it is so relaxing! Sometimes I will forget something I left downstairs and he will run and get it for me even if he just barely came from downstairs. He still opens the car door, well any door really. One of my favorite things is that when we go out to get groceries he will start the car and have me get in so that I can warm up and he will put all the groceries in the car.



I could probably go on and on with so many things he does for me! Such little things that people take for granted and I can admit that I probably don't thank him enough.

Thanks babe for everything you do for me.....big or small!! I love you!!!

Again!

Once again our Elenita has ear infections! She started a cold about Friday night so I thought to myself "I'm sure she has an ear infection". I called this morning to make an appointment and we were able to get in at 10:50am. As soon as we went into the exam room Elena started crying and then when she saw the doc she really started to cry. He checked her ears (she really put up a good fight) and he said she had the beginnings of an ear infection. I knew it!

I know what you are thinking....and yes she just had one not too long ago. In fact, she had one last month and the month before and many more before that. I asked the doc if she would need to get tubes and he said that he wanted to see her in 3 weeks to do some tests.

In the meantime, we get the antibiotics and hopefully get rid of the infection fast.
