Greg and I were eating dinner with the kids a few nights ago and we were just chatting about the previous days activities that I had with Sam (Greg was in Norfolk). I had mentioned that Sam's new favorite book is Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. Greg mentioned that he has been reading that a lot to him too. So I confessed to him that I read the part of the unnamed character as an elderly, southern black man. Greg BUSTED out laughing. It was a pretty good belly laugh so then of course I started laughing too and then Sam joined in. It was a very nice family moment....until Greg couldn't stop laughing :) Then I had to question if he was just making fun of me or was laughing at something else. I asked him what was so funny and then he said I read it with a voice too...Sean Connery's. Then we both were giggling like school kids.
It was so nice to have just a good laugh with my husband. It really made me think about how little time we take for ourselves as a couple. We give and give and give to our beautiful boys and we sacrifice for each other but we rarely do it together. I'm sure all couples have these hurdles that they need to jump so we are taking it in stride but it certainly is wearing.
Sam and Charlie are super, well-adjusted and smart kids (so far). So I think we maybe had a little to do with that. We must be doing something right!

I love those moments! It is so hard to remember to try and put your marriage first! One of our "tries" this year is to go out at least once a month BY OURSELVES.. which is really hard when you don't trust a babysitter. We also try to have "Mom and Dad" time right when he comes home.. which is sometimes next to impossible... but I believe so important. As far as having super, well-adjusted and smart kids, well, that's because you are super, well-adjusted and smart.... Greg too. I hope things go well with your neighbor! I'll keep her in my prayers!
