Tony

Tony watched the girls for 5 day while I went to rainy Jamaica,, he spoiled the girls of course, took them to Szechwan where they can heat their food over a fire. This is a picture I received while gone. Livy told him "this is the best week of my life", nice.
Ok, you know I hate to get all mushy about my husband but just a cute thing he did....while I was gone not only did he watch the girls (1st time watching them overnight in 9 years, yes Anna is 9) he made this frame for me when I got back. It is my medal and number from my marathon, I was really touched. He is really loosing his bad boy image with me.
The other night Tony gave me the giggles so bad, which is amazing because I don't find him very funny usually, perhaps it was the glass of wine. Anyways we had this conversation that I would like a skillet for Christmas....so he continues to tell me that in England a skillet is a spatula, I said what is a spatula, he said it is a wooden stick. (Couldn't stop laughing) then a few minutes later he said "stepping up to the crease" instead of plate, some association to cricket. Ok, I know it was one of those you had to be there, but oh I had such a good giggle. No wonder we can't communicate, maybe that is why we get along.

OK that is way beyond the husband duties. Framing that for you is way cool. He's losing his hard-guy image with me too. Incredibly thoughtful.

Poor communication skills make for a great marriage... that is how Steve and I have lasted 30 years.

It is such a cool accomplishment! I only wish all of us sister's could have done it together, now that would have been fun, talk about the giggles, I love it when we all start laughing together... it's fun to start having these times with our own families, something has to take the place of our family when we are so far away! I loved having the girls at Christmas, enjoy each moment with those little one before they are gone!
