AZ




In the beginning of March Viv and I made our way to AZ once again. We are getting pretty good at this travel thing together. While we always miss dad on our mom and baby girl trips we are so thankful that we can do so many fun things together and enjoy this special time together without other distractions. This last trip was great as we timed it with George's 3rd birthday, yes that's right 3 years old that lil man is. It felt like xmas time at my parents home with all of us there, except for Aar. I can't get enough of visiting family. Vivian gets showered with attention non stop and there is no doubt that she LOVES her family. She loves cousins too and totally reacts differently to kids than adults.

It was perfect weather, winter in PHX is just blissful, if you haven't been in the winter early spring you are missing out. We had a blast playing with cousins and Vivian loved all the attention she got. We of course missed Dad and were excited to get home to him after a week away...came home to Vivian getting croup and thankfully she is all over it now.

My main squeeze

It's true I have THE best man in the world. A few things of late that remind me of this:

  • When Viv got croup this week he was right there with me, made a bed on her floor and camped out with me. Really how many daddies do that? He had work the next day just like the usual but that did not stop him from sharing the burden with me.

  • I am leaving Viv with him this weekend while I go to Big Bear with the Young Women. I don't even fret one bit. When I asked him if I should take her with me he quickly responded "NO."

  • Vivian goes bananas for him. When we face time while we are gone she shakes her arms and her legs and tries to pat him through the screen. Too cute.

  • When I return from being out of town with Viv I come home to a perfectly cleaned home, clean dogs, laundry done, etc. I know what you are thinking right now, Can he come to my house? No he CAN'T I am not good at sharing.
It's always been a 50/50 partnership. I think how crazy luck I am to have found this guy and snatched him up at such a young age. How did I even know then how great I would have it. We often talk about how nuts it is that we got married so young, made the most important decision of our lives when I was 20!!!

***Don't let the absence of using a babysitter confuse you. While Aar and I don't go out much with just us 2, in fact only 3x in the last 8 months, it doesn't mean I am not crazy in love with him. I just figure after almost a decade with him all to myself now I like being all together, the 3 of us.
