that pretty much sums up my life since having a kid.
On the way home from eating lunch with aunt cindy santi fell asleep in the back seat. I was able to put him in his crib and leave him at home with daddy while i went to the post office, flower shop, and trader joes'. i love doing errands in the late morning before the lunch rush!
After lunch we all three went to bellflower to the application support center. i wasnt sure it even existed at the address i had but we found it. however it wasn't the right place for us. there really isn't a place we could go to get help filling out the form. as the supervisor told me "it's pretty self-explanatory". great. thanks for helping me feel like a complete idiot, becuase i was only half way there before i met you.
he did help a little with some more info. I'll have to fill out the forms again on my own and send them in but with some extra evidential paperwork hopefully we'll get the extension this time.
Beto got his lunch at mcdonald's (fries for me...yea!) and we stopped at heartwell and walked aroudn the little pond and admired the ducks for a good thirty min. or so. santi really loved that. we have to go back again with bread to feed them.
on our way back to the car laura heida called and said she was coming over. and come over she did! she brought cheese, apples and blood orange sparkling juice from trader joe's! we had a fancy little snack, yes we did. she also played with santi while i started some laundry.
i made a chicken soup after she left. santi went to sleep again at 6.20.
i've been working on a surprise for my mom but in case she's reading this from uganda i can't say anything yet .
and now to go to bed an hour earlier than last night...9pm. glorious.
and may i add that i love my husband not just because of this but one reason is that he does laundry and bathes the baby and puts the baby to bed and vacuums, etc. voluntarily as well as leads our little family in daily devotionals (even if they're in the car on the way somewhere sometimes) and prays for us. I love him.
I love reading about your young lives with Santi. Enjoy this time because it will be gone before you know it. :)

My son (Steven) is not a sophmore at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
Sounds like a wonderful day Laura!
ReplyDeleteBeto is truly one of the best husbands out there. Not gonna say you got lucky, you got BLESSED! :)
I think it is sooooo wonderful and vital that he leads your family in daily devotionals starting with Santi is young. That way he will never know anything different. I can remember when mom tried to start with us in the teen years, (bless her heart) but alas, we gave her such a hard time!! So good he's starting them now.
