#546 On why I married the great woman

The wife is always coming up with some great creative creations. I used to think I was the creative one with my photography (look at our bathroom wall and you'll notice she has the better eye), with my ideas for stoles (look at the ones she has made thus far and you'll see she has better taste) and now we come to furniture design. I like to think that I can muster up the creative energy to make a reading chair with a leather cushion. Well the wife hasn't made a leather cushion but she has made this wonderful cushion for #3's high chair. I suppose it is Rhode Island inspired.

Over the past few mornings #3, whom I refer to as "the kid," has been waking up about an hour before we are ready for him (and us) to get up. "The kid" wakes up and is ready to play, growl, coo, laugh and all the other things 7 month olds do. Due to "the kid's" habit we have started to call him the alarm clock.

This morning he started about 6:30, the wife rolled over and wanted to know where the snooze button was on our new alarm clock.

The other morning I looked in the frig and saw a pound of bacon about to go bad. So I did what any self-respecting lover of pork would do: I cooked it all. The wife woke up saw the bacon on a paper towel and said she could eat it all as a snack. I love this woman.
