Some Words From Cali

Trying to tame Cali's bed head this morning she says to me...
Cali: "Daddy says I need to get a short cut."
Kristy: "Where does your short cut go?"
Cali: "Far, far away"
Kristy: "Hum, that is some short cut! What do you need a short cut for?"
Cali: "Daddy says I need a short cut for my crazy hair!"


Cali being silly...
Cali: [calling out] "Babies, where are my two babies?!"
Upon seeing her two sisters sitting on the floor...
Cali: "My two babies!  There you are!  [holding her doll basket out to them] Get into your basket right now!
Nyah & Sade: [laughing hysterically]
Cali: [sound effects] "Pkew pkew".  There, now I put you in my basket and uh oh, now you don't have any noses!
[Lots more hysterical laughing]

It is so fun being the mom to these amazing, and very funny kids!
We spend the majority of the day laughing and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

There are over a million reasons why I love Jeremy.  
I could spend a year listing them all and still not cover half of why.  

Today is just another example of why I love him.  After a long night of me not sleeping well, Jeremy didn't wake me up when the kids got up.  He did the whole morning routine, breakfast, homework check, even the girls hair... you might think this is my reason for writing.Actually he has done this a lot while I've been pregnancy-sick, not just this morning, and it is another reason I love him, but the thing I love about today is this.  
Just as the kids were heading out the door, to walk to school, it started to pour rain.  Being AZ, it's not too cold out so the kids wanted to walk to school still. The problem was, their friends weren't walking in the rain so they didn't have anyone to go with.  
Jeremy didn't miss a beat, he grabs the kids umbrellas and tells them to wait there.  Jeremy runs upstairs, gets himself and Cali dressed, grabs the stroller and two more umbrellas and walks his girls to school in the rain storm.
That is the man I married and I love him.
