Last night....

Last night I should have blogged.  I experienced some things that I never want to forget.  I had a really great day.  Playgroup with friends, gushing over Haydens cuteness with my friends baby, Hayden napped :), had a wonderful client over for dinner before her hair apt., did her hair.  It was 9:30 pm and I was spent.  I cleaned up a bit and came upstairs to what was one of the most precious moments.  Brett puts Hayden to bed every night and had let him stay up late last night so was still putting him to bed.  I walked into the kitchen and looked in our video monitor (pretty much the greatest thing ever) to see such a precious moment.  It got me all emotional.  Brett was holding Hayden on his bed rocking him and singing "I am a Child of God".  I melted and soaked in ever bit of that special moment.  

I'm especially sentimental right now.  That is a moment that Brett and Hayden share every night, and I know that, and I've seen that before, and I ALWAYS love it but for some reason it really hit me last night.  I have an incredible husband who couldn't be more helpful.  I am so blessed for that.  Brett walked in the door from school looking like he was about to pass out.  He's a little sick and was really tired.  But what did he do?  Went outside and played with Hayden and Rylee.  Brett is selfless, always trying to give me a break when he's home.  When I was 17 I knew that if I was to marry Brett that I would always be taken care of, that he would love me unlike no one else could, and that I would be so happy.  I love him more than I could even explain and am grateful all of that has come true.

I have said how wonderful Hayden has been lately.  During dinner, Brett and Graham (my client) were talking about school stuff (she works at Pitt) and Hayden just kept leaning over and hugging my arm saying "I love you mommy", "I'm so proud of you mommy" (ha if you only knew how many times a day I try to tell him I'm proud of him).  I'm soaking up every moment with Hayden right now before life changes for us all.  Changes that we are all so excited for.

I'm blessed and never want to forget.
