Naomi doesn't know I am trying to do my first ever blog. I sometimes help her with little things here and there but I have never actually tried to add to Naomi's blog without her knowing. he he he, sneaky aren't I???
In order for this to be worth anything, I need to include a picture of Naomi doing something that only a mother could do and perhaps something that is tiring.
Oh boy, this is not to be taken lightly. As you can see we have children who are painting paper mache balloons, finger painting and painting foreheads. I think in this picture, Naomi may be looking at another child and the crazy mess he just made...
In one sense Naomi is right at home, because the night before this family activity Naomi was painting the front entrance way of our home, because it needed it. She has a vision and I have learned that when Naomi gets a great idea, I actually need to step out of the way. My only problem is that I am the one who keeps getting in the way... I am sure women have heard this all before.
Well enough painting, I actually wanted to say that I really love Naomi and say that she is the best wife ever. I am a very lucky man and couldn't ask for anyone better. Naomi is the hardest working person, up early - go for a run, get ready, get the family ready, get the chickens ready, upkeep the house and make it a "place we want to come home to" and still have enough energy to do all the afternoon things before finally preparing the next day with all the evening things so that it can happen all over again. I just want to say that it is every small thing done by love that makes all the difference in our home.
NAOMI...I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART.
Oh my....can I just say how lovely this is!! I know first hand what a phenomenal woman Naomi is. When I was teaching young Nathan in nursery, she poppped over to my place and brought me some cookies that she baked to say thanks for teaching Nathan. It was such a sweet gesture and made me feel'noticed' in the ward at a time when it felt like no one knew my name. Keep up the wonderful blog - both of you :D
ReplyDeleteYou're a lucky girl Naomi:)
ReplyDeleteThanks sweetheart, love you too! I couldn't do it without you and thanks for noticing the little things. I think I might have to edit some of those photo's...hee hee!
