Adventures in Babyraising

Elai is adorable. I love him.
I also am with him all day while Michael is at work, bringin' home the bacon. He is so great when he comes home from work.
And, I can tell Elai misses him like crazy. He gets sick of me (well, I think he is just a little restless having me as his only companion all day) so when Michael gets home, the crying stops and the gassy smiles come out. :)
I feel the same way, so I don't mind so much.

Elai also had his first surgery (poor guy!) He did so well and let the doctor do what he needed to without too much fuss. I think some of his cries were really just to get the sugar water (like father, like son).
He has been really good since, too. He loves being held, and the doctor said to hold him a lot to comfort him. Now I can barely set him down to use the bathroom without the cute little whimpers. *sigh* I can't wait for Michael to get home.

One Year

One year ago, we knelt across the altar in the Mount Timpanogos Temple and made sacred covenants that sealed us together for time and all eternity. Some people think that marriage only lasts until death or divorce, but in our faith, we believe that when someone with the proper authority seals a man and woman together, they are bound forever. Death does not break these bonds.
I married my best friend. I knew I was marrying a great man, but I had no idea the extent. Every day has been a new adventure and a new blessing. Michael is my knight in shining armor and my shoulder to cry on.
He is capable of making me laugh on the worst of days and for helping me through my many faults in a loving way. I am forever grateful to be spending the rest of eternity by his side.
