Family Summer

So I know that Mary Lynn usually does the blogging, but I thought that in the midst of this unusual summer, I would take a crack at it. I don't know too many families that are lucky enough to have this first summer at home with both parents as the little one learns how to sit up, purposefully play with toys, and (hopefully soon) crawl and get some chompers. Watching Lily grow and being able to do it as a couple has been truly amazing and unique. What I have learned, though, is how much love ML puts into every daily activity as she takes care of Lily's every need and in her "spare time" doubles as our activity coordinator, trip planner, house project chair, and social coordinator. I know that this is not "work" as the IRS considers it, but the time and effort she puts into our family makes me feel that Lily and I hit the jackpot. She anticpates our needs and selflessly goes about her day...shoot she hardly even posts pictures of her and Lily together--even though Lily's biggest smiles are reserved for ML when Lily wakes up or performs a new trick. This has been a great summer, with two great months ahead, but even in these short weeks, it has been reaffirmed to me that indeed, Life is Good.
