An Ode to Behn

I don't think I write on this blog how much I appreciate and love my husband. Not only does he work hard to provide for us, he's a great husband and father. Here are some tidbits from today:

He serves:

I went to bed feeling achey and with a sore throat. I also woke up that way (at 5:45 a.m. thankyouverymuchPatrick). Behn took the boys downstairs so I could get a shower and ready for the day. I was sulking about being in drab, rainy Southern Maryland instead of beautiful, lovely, snowy Virginia.  But then Behn told me due "inclement weather" he was off from work for the day! Then he told me, "I'm here to serve you and the boys today," and he made us all pancakes.

He's funny:

Behn, about being home today: "We can make angels in the mud." Haha! We do have the same humor.

We like the same places. Or not like the same places:

While dreaming about where to possibly take our little family on a getaway, I suggested the beach.

Behn: I don't like the beach. There are annoying people there.
Me: Yeah, I don't like it either. It's hot. And sandy.

We'd prefer historic locations or the mountains. Glad we agree on this!

He watches movies that I like:

 Me: Want to watch Little Women today?
Behn: Yep.

In general, we just get along so well and enjoy each other's company. I think we're a pretty good team and I'm glad that God gifted me with such a man as this.

    He is probably my favorite "friend's husband," and I know I've said this before: it's because we're actually friends ourselves. Glad you guys have each other and I have you both in my life!

Ok, few dear readers, I haven't heard from you much lately. Which I get...because sometimes this blog is kind of BOOOORRRRING! So, just for fun, here's what is going on currently: Currently Watching: Downton Abbey , like the rest of the world. The heard the season finale on Sunday is 'devastating.' How can anything be more devastating than episode 4?? Downton , I warn you, if you are disappointing or break my heart, I will leave you.           I also dabble in Parks and Rec and Parenthood , with a side of The Bachelor . Currently Sweating: me, on the treadmill in the basement. This, with the combination of cutting out sodas and some snacks, means that the jeans that were very  tight when I first had Patrick are now comfortably baggy. YES! I still have work to do, but am feeling better about myself. Currently Reading: 7  by Jen Hatmaker You guys, I love this book.  "A mutiny against excess." Jen Hatmaker journals through seven months of givin

I haven't done one of these in a while, but I have been reading. Here is what is on my bookshelf: The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson I first got to know Clarkson when I read the book Desperate, which she co-authored with Sarah Mae. I friend from church had raved about Clarkson, and so lent me this book when I showed interest in more of her writing. I'm only a few chapters in, but loving it so far. And, frankly, I really need to be reading these sort of books right now, in the throes of "Stop it!" "Don't kick your brother!" "Obey me RIGHT NOW" and the never ending dishes...the early mornings...the snotty noses...the incessant whining...the poopy diapers...in all the ordinary and mundane that is motherhood. To be reminded this is a mission- gives it so much more significance. The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays by Ree Drummond My sweet sister-in-law Lydia gifted me with this (signed!) copy of the Pioneer

Patrick Wilford is Here!

Both of my boys (what, I have 2 boys?) are napping right now, so it's time to update this blog with Patrick's birth story before I forget the details. Words to describe Patrick's birth: terrifying. fast. wonderful. merciful. unforgettable. We'll start with Friday, September 7th. I had my 39 week OB appointment and was 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Promising, but no guarantee I'd go into labor too soon. However, I did go ahead and schedule an elective induction for the following Tuesday (the 11th) because I liked the idea of knowing I'd make it to the hospital, plus my favorite doctor was on call that day, plus Behn had that whole week off of work so I knew he'd be there for everything. So it just made sense, even though I did want to try to have another natural childbirth. On Saturday (the 8th), I was excited because I knew there was a coldfront coming in. I was so ready for cool, unhumid air, but also was hopeful the change in the air pressure would c
