Quiet House

For almost the past week now Paige and Zander have been on a trip to visit family all across the state of Colorado. Before you start to worry and think that I am a horrible husband/father for letting her and Zander travel by car to Colorado, please take note that she didn’t go alone. Paige’s parents were actually the ones leading the charge and Paige decided to join them in the adventure north. As they left I looked forward to reading a book and sleeping through the night without a cry from Zander to wake me up. However, after I got home from work and entered into our apartment I realized how quiet and boring the night was going to be (no food, no wife, and no kid). I slowly realized how much I would pick having a CRAZY house over a quiet house any day. Nonetheless, the rest of my weekend was filled with work, craziness, wedding showers, friends, and much more. Now I find myself eagerly waiting the return of my two favorite people. So is it just… my stomach that is ready for good home cooked food again? a need for companionship? a desire to use Paige’s Apple computer instead of my crappy PC? I say it is none of the above, but rather LOVE (hmmm… and maybe a little bit of the apple computer)!!! It is funny how you look back and can’t imagine your life without the people you love and live day-to-day with.

my kid’s cuter than yours

I never thought I would be one of those people who really thinks that my kid is the cutest one out there. I’m pretty honest, I told myself if I had an ugly baby I wouldn’t expect people to lie and say he was cute. I even admitted that Zander had a crazy-huge weird looking head when he was born. But now, I have lost all impartiality…all it takes is one look at his face and I’m sure that there’s never been anyone in the world as sweet, cute or precious as lil’ Zander. And it’s getting worse…everyday he just gets cuter. I guess it’s just hard-wired into moms – it’s probably good to know that at least there’s one person in the world who always thinks you are cute…your mom.
