I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted - almost six weeks! I have so much I want to blog about, but I honestly don't make much time for being on the computer anymore!
Samuel and Audrey are both sick - she was diagnosed with bilateral ear infections last Wednesday and he has a left ear infection as of this Tuesday. She's on amoxicillin and he's on augmentin. Samuel was also diagnosed with "seasonal" allergies and asthma. I put it in quotes because we're going off of the hope that he's only like this during high pollen times. He was outside with Brad pretty much all day last Saturday, when the weather was beautiful, and then he developed a horrible cough that got much worse at night when the weather turned ugly on Sunday. I was worried about him going into respiratory distress, which he's done before, so we went to the pediatrician for the third time in less than three weeks! Anyway, he's now on daily singulair and claritin, although he's being such a trooper about all of his medicines. He even encourages Audrey with hers!
I'm at work right now and have realized that whenever I have down time I just reflect so much on how blessed I am with my wonderful husband and precious children. I hate that I appreciate Brad so much when I'm here, but by the time I get home and am actually around him, I'm too tired to even speak or think and never get around to telling him how much all of his hard work means to me. I hope he knows that I love him so much and I don't know what I would ever do without him. He's such a great Daddy and a supportive husband. He's really been helping me a lot with the dishes over the past several weeks. I have always struggled with doing them in a timely manner, and he's such a big help. I've realized that my "love language" has changed over the years. When we first were married, I felt loved the most when he would spend quality time with me. Now, acts of service make me feel more loved than anything. I think having kids has obviously contributed to that a lot! There is always so much to do for them, besides stuff that has to be done around the house, so the more he helps me with, the less stress I feel. I'm so thankful for him.
