You have some of the most creative, inventive ideas known to man.  Way to turn boring research projects into something original and cool.  So glad I didn't marry some boring, run-of-the-mill dude.

Here are three things we do better together than apart:

1. Retrieve helium balloons from the garage ceiling.
2. Clap out camp songs.
3. Raise three incredible boys.

Thank you for making me feel so loved and special this Mother's Day!!

I love this picture of Caden showing you his book he wrote and illustrated.  Our boys love making you proud.  Thank you for focusing in on what is important.  I feel so sad for the little guys out there who don't have daddy's who stop and listen.  I can see the confidence starting to burst out of Caden's cheeks and I just know he will be okay with all the tough stuff his future might hold.

Jeff, This marriage thing takes loads of grace and forgiveness to really work at all.  Thanks for giving those both so willingly.  Sometimes, in this season especially, it is difficult to do things the right way.  But we will keep trying, and once in awhile failing, and starting all over again.

May the Fourth Be With You!


You have passed along your giant collection of Star Wars characters to your boys.

I have never seen an entire Star Wars movie.

It reminded me of my friend Becca's blog that you should see, because you and I get what she is talking about:

"Two broken people that are better together."

Today I took time to explain this blog to our boys.  I want them to always know that I love you more than any other person on this planet.  (I haven't really checked out the other planets yet, so I can't be sure about where you stand there.)  We went back to past entries so I could show them some of the things I love about you.

They chimed in as guest "I Dig You" bloggers today...

Caden: You are the nicest boy around.
Milo: Nu-fing.  (Which you know actually means everything.)
Max: I like it when you play little legos with me.

Wait patiently for the Lord.
      Be brave and courageous.
      Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14 

And...I think your ear is really cute.
