Over the last week, we have been able to spend time with two couples who are dear friends of ours.
Saturday night, we went out with John and DeDe to celebrate John's 50th birthday. We had a lovely evening at Irregardless Cafe eating delicious food and dancing to the fantastic music of the Jim Ferris Trio. A Jazz band whom played at our Christmas party. While we celebrated, the boys were in good hands home with Lala, Cha, Pop and Caitlyn who were giving them lots of love and showering them with birthday gifts.
On Monday and Tuesday, Heath and I tagged teamed staying home with Tas who came down with a bad cold. Poor thing, his whole face is chapped from his nose running during the night. Needless to say, a sick toddler makes for some long days and nights. Also, Tas was sad that Chance went to school and he stayed home. He asked for Chance both days and hugged him when he got home from school. Very sweet!
Fast forward to today. What a terrific day it has been! I got a massage during lunch to work out the Mommy kinks in my back, gave the boys a bath after work and cooked dinner for Ed and Kim who had little Ruby with them. I made my lemon rosemary chicken. Cooking brings me back to who I am and grounds me. It makes me feel good to serve a home cooked meal.
When the boys were going to bed tonight, they gave me big hugs. I want to package this feeling up and save for the day when we are not getting hugs on a regular basis. I think about the endorphins that must get released when you get a hug from your child because a there is not much that can make you feel better about life than a hug from your child. The last great thing about today was Chance's bedtime glucose reading - 186!
The last thought of the day is about grandparents. I would think the love they give and get from their grandchildren must bring them back to the days of their children and the hugs. It is wonderful how life provides this!
