Family Pictures Hung!

Saturday was a nice break from the long week without Danny. It was even a short week. I am not looking forward to adding one more "single parent" evening to the week. Everyday I remind myself of why I am doing this. 1) Because I love my husband 2) Because I value education 3) Because I know it is temporary and 4) Because I know it will be good for our family in the long run!
So, back to Saturday. We hung out and took it pretty easy in the morning, then ran the few necessary errands, and finally we took Marina to her first friend birthday party without her brother. She was very excited to say the least. Thanks to the Alex for inviting her. This actually gave us some time without Marina to shop for her upcoming birthday and start to work on Christmas shopping. It was a very quiet and non-whiny experience. "Thank you Alex for inviting her." When picked her up, we visited with the Easton's for a short time, it was nice to see them on a social note.
Upon returning home we decided to take on putting up our family pictures, while the kids watched a movie. It is the first time we have had family pictures hanging in our house since we've been married. Crazy huh? Since it's a monumetal moment in our family, I tried to take a picture of the pictures. Didn't work very well, but here it is, just to mark the moment. Thanks again to Kristie Chadwick for doing these for us. She was awesome.
I love that Danny and I have such a great relationship. I am so blessed to have a husband that helps do the duties at home. This weekend he took on the laundry, and of course the cooking. And took the time to talk to me and play the bestfriend role too. No wonder I miss him during the week. Just wanted him and all of you to know why I sound a little whiny, about not having him home. I guess I've just been very spoiled all these years. Thanks Hubby!!!
