My Two Greatest Loves

Mine and Tom's 6th Valentine's Day together was not exactly how we envisioned it would be. Our poor baby has been sick, really sick, all week. It started out as a cold and then progressed into days of fever and throwing up. As parents you just want to fix it and the fact that you can't breaks your heart.

For those of you that have cared for a sick infant know showering, eating, and even using the bathroom are optional. You can't lay the baby down for fear of a crying fit that may last anywhere between 5 minutes to 5 hours. And let's not even discuss the dreaded "booger sucker". Geesh! You'd think you were doing major surgery without anesthesia.

Thankfully Tennyson took a long nap yesterday afternoon, something he hasn't been doing this past week. He would sniffle or cough, wake up and just want to be held. So during his nap I did manage to get a nice dinner made for my sweetheart. We dined on Chicken and Asparagus Risotto and enjoyed a nice glass of sweet tea. What else!? I had also planned on making chocolate fondue for dessert, but someone wanted me. Unfortunately, I am talking about Tennyson.

But the highlight was definitely getting flowers and cards from my husband and Tennyson. (You didn't know Tennyson could write?!) Good thing there were tissues near by because the tears were flowing! So even though it wasn't "perfect" I still got to spend time with my two greatest loves. Tom, who I love more now than the day we were married. Seeing him with Tennyson is an indescribable feeling. What a great father. What a great man. What a great love. And my sweet Tennyson. You have taken the meaning of love to new heights. Somehow I love them both with all my heart.
