True Love

There's this one guy in my life who has truly stolen my heart and that fella is the one and only Lance Aaron.

Yes. I do love my baby boy Bennett too, but without Lance there would be no Bennett so this is my shoutout to the world's most amazing husband.

The few weeks after Bennett was born Lance was putting in 10-12 hour days at the duplex trying to get it ready for our new renter.  It was a chaotic time for us and I was grateful for his hard work in making the deadline for our new renters. 

At that same time I kept wishing and hoping that Lance would fall in love with Bennett as much as I had.

The 11 weeks I took off for maternity leave it was pretty much me and Bennett battling it out each day and making our daily runs to "my stores" as Lance would call them just to keep me from going stir crazy.  

I was nervous to go back to work because in my mind who was going to clean/cook/take care of Bennett/ and keep the generalized flow of our lives.....

Lance.

Over the last month of me working full-time and Lance taking daddy duty x3 a week I have witnessed his love for Bennett grow exponentially.  

I am overjoyed to see Lance babbling back at Bennett and playing with him.  Many times if Bennett starts to cry Lance says, "here I'll take him," a common phrase said by many wives to their husbands... but this willingness from Lance only makes him the worlds most perfect husband and father. 

In addition Lance has blessed me with many more things... 

The nights before my days of work Lance gets up with Bennett to feed him if he wakes in the night.

The days I get home from work I am greeted with my boys smiling on the couch playing.

My bed is made.

My puppies are fed.

My laundry is done.

My dishes and bottles have been washed.

Dinner is most likely in the oven (if I've prepped and given instructions).

I am then able to take my boy and spend tub time and jammy time with him prior to bed.

The next morning if I am off Lance will even wake up early with Bennett so I can sleep in for one more hour before beginning my day.

These are the many small and yet amazing things my husband does making those 4 days off each week days where I can feel refreshed, get some studying done and spend uninterrupted time with my ever so growing little man.  

I. Am. Truly. Blessed.
