Brian has really been helping with Eden a lot lately so that I can rap up this thesis I've been writing. Luckily his job is flexible. For instance, today he came home for a couple of hours in the afternoon (knowing that she would be mostly napping) and I was able to leave for a meeting. He is traveling to LA a lot right now, but usually tries to limit the over-nights so that he can be home in the evening and I can still get some study time. I am so grateful for his help and Eden is loving the extra alone time with her daddy.
A couple of weeks ago, Brian knew he was going to need to go to a work site in the evening so he came home and took Eden along for the ride. These are a few of the pictures he came back with and I was a bit inspired to write a little poem (from Eden to her Daddy).
My Daddy and I
There's this guy in my life I like to call Daddy
who's tall and lean and handsome.
He's there when I wake up and go to bed at night
and all day on the weekends, it's awesome!
My daddy and I have a wonderful time
no matter what we are doing.
We may paint or wrestle, read or slide
but our favorite is pretend coffee brewing.
My daddy and I go on many adventures
oh how I love to be at his side.
Be it behind his bike or in his backpack,
I'm always along for the ride.
My daddy and I even work well together
I am always up for the task,
maybe around the house or at a river bend
all he has to do is ask.
There's this guy in my life I like to call Daddy
who is oh so very cool.
If is wasn't for Zander or Vincent or Colton
I'd never want to grow up and go to school!

Brian, Kera and Eden:
When Brian was Eden's age, he loved to climb (and never gave that up!) and ended up on the garage roof more than once. As I read about Eden and her daddy (my son the climber), I am reminded again to be grateful every day for the ordinary events of your lives. A year ago, I could not have imagined that all us blog followers would see pictures of rosy-cheeked Eden out on an adventure with Brian, or playing with Campbell and Mimi or dancing with the Wiggles or talking up a storm about Fozzie and Shala. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your perserverance and spirit in giving Eden every opportunity to live fully.
Much love,
Mom/Grammy
