Love for my hubby!

I just wanted to take a minute and brag a little about my husband on this here blog. I am so blessed to have him in my life for so many reasons but this weekend I was especially grateful for his patient and calm spirit.

Growing up I made a lot of mistakes, all kids do, but in my family there was little grace from my dad. A lot of punishment and shame. Its something I'm so used to that when I make a mistake now I get ready for the blow up and the guilt trip. Its something I also struggle with with my own kids and those around me. Charlie is very different on the other hand. He has a lot more grace and patience for me and the boys.  Its something I really admire and strive to be more like every day.

This weekend we had a little incident where I may have locked the keys in the car after a fun lunch out as a family. Usually its not a problem, we have a keyless entry code that we can use, but for some reason when you leave the key in the ignition it kills the battery and then the key code doesn't quite work. Hmmmm. Oops! Charlie was so calm and collected and took care of the problem without ever making me feel worse then I already felt at the moment.

I need to work harder on being that way. I know that I can jump on him and the kids for the smallest things. I know thats not how Christ wants me to be.

Thanks babe for being such a wonderful example of Christ's love and grace for our family. We love you!! xoxoxo



A few photos from lunch (Charlie was at a photo shoot but was able to join us at the end)

My 3 handsome lunch dates! 

Ethan insisted that the lemon wedge was an apple and I let him find out himself that it wasn't. Ha!
