Fun Times

Sorry it's been a while since I last wrote. Things have been really busy with tests and papers and all that good stuff. :-P

The Little Monster is doing well. He continues to grow, play, squeal, and scream (mostly when you're trying to change him). And he also did something REALLY exciting that I missed!

We were at Fuddrucker's for lunch with several people from church, and our order was called, so naturally I went off to get it. As soon as I left, the Monster looks around the restaurant with a confused look on his face, and says "Dada?"

He said it.

I missed it.

Blasted burgers, heh.

But yeah! I officially have a name, even if he does say it at the most inopportune times. That's exciting. I'm pretty sure "Mama" is coming soon. He definitely knows who his mama is, we just haven't heard him use it yet. He's growing crazy fast now too. There are now 5 fangs, the better to bite you with, and he's in the 90th percentile in length/height, and the 30th percentile in weight. You wouldn't know he was in the bottom 1/2 of the weight percentages though, the kid's pretty thick.

So that's about the Little Monster. Now for my wife.

Today the Little Kitty and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We actually celebrated it on Saturday with a movie, steak dinner, and the all-important baby-sitting friends. It was a lot of fun. These past 2 years have been amazing. Not always easy, and sometimes very complicated, but amazing.

My wife is as kind, loving, caring, smart, witty, sarcastic, funny, and organized as I could ever wish for. She truly is such a huge portion of my heart, my life, and she is my own little love story in this shattered, broken world. To my dearest on this tier of life, I love you.

So I'll end with that. To say more seems silly. Simple, uncomplicated words seem best for a life that is, when it really comes down to it, simple and uncomplicated. There is love here, and that is enough.
