A Poem from Lainey

I have the most wonderful husband and child. I know several of my friends will say that about their own husbands... Stephen, Jesse, Brady, Kevin, Jeff etc...and they too are wonderful. I don't doubt that for a minute. But isn't is amazing how God has matched us up with men who compliment us? He has crafted two people that aren't perfect... but are perfect for each other?

Derek was home last week with sick Lainey (and did a great job being Mr.Mom, might I add)... and during their time at home he helped her write a poem for her mom.

Here goes:

Here's a gift with a little thrift,

for always being there for your bear.

For always working hard,

even when you're tard (tired).

For never taking a break,

and baking so much cake.

For looking at the best electricity rate,

getting up early and staying up late.

For putting up with Dad and Baby,

and never saying maybe.

Here's a gift to help you relax,

or as the kids say... chillax.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year... Love Lainey & Dad.

and in it was a giftcard for a massage. : )

It just choked me up a little bit to know that all those little things don't go unnoticed, and are sincerely appreciated.

I sure do love those two "bears" of mine.
