family

Earlier this week, Sept. 9, was our anniversary. We didn't do much, of course, but I did surprise Eddie III with a Maine lobster dinner complete with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was Eddie IV's first encounter with a lobster too...we know there will be many more. Perhaps the most special thing about this, our second anniversary, is that it marks the beginning of our lives truly as a family. Last night I asked Eddie III if he could do anything what would he like to do?, and he promptly responded, as he sat in a chair in our family room holding Eddie IV, "I am already doing it." It practically brought tears to my eyes. I am so lucky to have such an loving, engaged husband. Someone who literally gets excited to change little Eddie's diaper just because it is another opportunity to spend time with his son. And I swear that little Eddie stares at his Dad in a uniquely captivating way, unlike the way he looks at me, laden with admiration, wonder and above all, love.
