Week Loves.

This week I love,
*Deakon's Pediatrician, Dr. Kramer.
This man is solid, and has been there from the beginning of our journey with Deak. Even though we changed insurance companies a year and a half ago, I still pay to see him, because he is that good. Deak had his BIG three year well-child visit this past week and I was excited to show off how well he is doing. Two days later, Dr. Kramer's nurse called just to let me know that they know our insurance doesn't cover his visits (they usually have discounted their rate for me in half), and Dr. Kramer wanted to see him free of charge. FREE! What an amazing man.

*Abby's Mother Day Book she made for me in school.
When she writes she becomes more heartfelt; a side I don't often get to see. What a perceptive little girl. One of the questions she was asked to answer read..."What is most Important to your Mom?" She answered...Me and my bruther. So true.

*My job.
I am grateful to have one. I am so glad I made the choice to go into a field that I love. Hopefully my heartbreak over some of these kids balances out with my ability to help them overcome their challenges.

*My monster of a man, Deak.
He is now beginning to verbally answer questions...constantly, and typically with his one syllable answer of "Ah (Ya.)" He even answers all the questions Diego asks while watching his show. Every once in a while he'll answer you with a VERY distinct and powerful "Uh-Uh," while at the same time flinging his arms and head back and forth. We usually let him win in those situations because we just love that he has used his voice to tell us no.

*Lost.
This show has given Blair and I a chance to spend our limited time available together doing something we both enjoy. Thanks to our friend (who shall remained unnamed...) we are now beginning to watch the current TV season, and are LOVING it. It has been such a great escape, and a chance to forget the crap we have to deal with.

*Friends/Family.
I need you now, and you have come through. It is a little lonely without a husband around to nag, and you have given me an outlet. The lunches, sports, park dates, and exercise outings are what fuels me right now.

*And last, but not least, Blair.
Remember when our life together began? I don't think we imagined a fraction of the things that have happened, happening to us - and that's okay. The ignorant bliss is fun while it lasts, but the companionship that ensues after going through these unexpected turns are better. Man, I need you. Not just your help, but you. I need you to to listen to me whine about the nuances of my day and get really protective when people disappoint me. I love how you love our children, proved in the fact that on your one evening off this week, you chose to take Abby to tee-ball practice, and then play catch with her in the yard afterward. My heart swelled watching through the window.
