This guy.....

...lets me sleep in EVERY day while he gets up and plays with, makes breakfast for, and generally entertains our ever enthusiastic early bird...

...comes home from a loooooooong day at work to a sink full of dirty dishes, a washer that needs to be unloaded and without a word dives in, and straightens up.  Then, untiring, he jumps into an epic battle of tickle roughhouse on the front room floor...

...saunters into the front room, bleary eyed at 2 in the morning to find me asleep on the couch
(yet again).
If he can't rouse me out of the deep, crazy pregnancy dream I'm ensconced in, he covers me in fluffy blankets, kisses me goodnight, and turns of the lights...

...patiently endures my wild mood swings
(including the time I almost cried when he told me I snored so loud it woke him up.....then got so mad that he told me I was snoring I wouldn't talk to him.)...

...calmly waits for his quiet little daughter to make a move under his gentle hand on my growing belly, even though she was all over the place up until THE moment he tried to feel her. HA!...

...is the love of my life, and I am grateful every day for the selfless, untiring service and love he freely gives to our family on a daily basis...

.....and now I'm crying.....

I LOVE YOU TALIN!
