I am thankful for...

Dan! Dan is wonderful!! Just plain and simple! I have to brag on my guy...so, just bear with me.
There are not words to describe all the ways he makes our family better, but I will try to paint a little bit of a picture for you. :)
First of all, he is the best dad! He never seems to tire of Will's endless questions or Andrew's needing to be picked up the minute he walks in the door. And he makes bathtime the most fun time of day at our house. And to top it all off, he is the best role model any two boys could ever wish to have.
And I'm not even done. In addition to his awesome role as daddy, he still finds ways to make me fall in love with him more everyday. He brings me coffee in bed almost every morning. He helps with chores around the house without even being asked...like emptying the dishwasher before I come downstairs. He assures me every day that I am a great mom even when I feel like I got nothing accomplished and the kids are acting so bad. And the best one yet, I sent him to buy dog food the other day and he came home with these beautiful roses! Just because! Am I lucky or what?

Tomorrow is the anniversary of our first date together 10 YEARS AGO! Wow, has it been that long? And with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am so thankful for my Dan-O!
