Denny's Birthday

So, this post is a week late, and a tribute short! Last Tuesday was Denny's birthday! I had it all planned out in my head that I was going to post a really sweet post for Denny for his birthday! He has been so wonderful since Jack arrived, so helpful and supportive (even when I didn't deserve it many times!). I thought his birthday would be the perfect time to tell him, and the few that read our blog, what a great dad and husband he really is! However, as it does on most days, the time just got away from me and before I knew it his birthday was over!!!!

So, I will take a brief moment to express my gratitude and admiration for his loving heart and patient attitude! Denny has truly stepped it up since we came home with Jack. He has changed every diaper in the middle of the night, no lie, and many during the day as well, he has given me time to run errands alone, taken every opportunity to take Liv with him when he runs errands, encouraged me to go out and have fun with the girls, taken Liv to school every day, done laundry, dishes, packed lunches, cooked, etc.... I really could go on! Not to say there haven't been times I've wanted to strangle him of course, but I'll blame that on postpardum hormones! :) I honestly don't know what I would do without him! God has tremendously blessed not only my life, but Olivia and Jack's lives as well! We are thankful to celebrate another year of his life!


Okay, now that that is off my chest... Denny happens to share a birthday with one of my closest friends Allison, so we decided to all go out to celebrate, kids included! We went down to the Shops at Legacy, one of my favorite places, and had dinner at Taco Diner, one of the reasons I love the Shops at Legacy! :) It was such a nice evening we decided to eat outside and it was really a lot of fun! Ava and Olivia spent the evening running around the little courtyard area while the adults got to eat and enjoy some good conversation! Beck and Jack were very good and stayed quite content in their carriers! Amazingly I remembered to bring along the camera and was at least able to snap a picture of Denny with Jack and Olivia! It's not the best, but it's better than nothing!
