Tribute to my husband

I just have to get this out. As I was just emailing Jas I had a lot of gratitude bubble up. So here is my outlet. Today Calvin had his first experience with his blow up pool and sprinkler in the yard. The expressions on his face, squeals of delight, and looks of confusion from the sputtering sprinkler were so priceless. He had Aspen and I laughing so hard at times it was hard to breath. I have the blessing of waking up each day, walking into Cal's room and pulling him into my arms to say good morning. As summer has come along my thought early each morning is "what will today bring?" "What will we do for your first time ever today?" And it's not that we plan to do "firsts" every day. We happen to be in the moment and I realize its his first. And there I am sharing it with him. I am so grateful it brings me to tears. Thank you Jason for providing me this opportunity to share my days with Cal. Thank you for all of your hard work, long hours, early mornings, long periods of time on orders. These days are irreplaceable and I catch myself on days like today trying to grasp the hours and hold on. But they just slip away so quickly. He gets so big each day. So much stronger and independent. It is amazing to watch how he learns so speedily. Last Saturday night I took him to the park. It was his first time back since he has been walking(as of a week ago). He takes off up the playground stairs gets on the slide feet first belly down all by himself. Then at the end he gets up and climbs the slide to come back down again. We did this for over an hour. But that hour went by so quickly and while we walked home I felt I left my baby at the park and brought home a toddler. I knew this day would come. But it came so fast. I am just so very, very grateful I was able to be there with him through it all. Thank you to my hard working husband. I know he misses his family so much and he wishes he could be here for these small moments. We love our daddy! And to end on a less sappy note here is last night's laughs. Cal was gigglin so hard, come to find out he was bending over and Ruby was giving him french kisses and he thought it was the best thing ever. He was laughing so hard and I was too. I finally put an end to the show once I got a hold of myself. Oh he is just the light of my life! How did I ever think I life was good before him? Life is so beautiful, especially now that its summer!
