Thank you for helpful husbands

In lieu of a longer post, I want to do a quick "I am grateful" post. Today my husband got up with the kids and let me sleep in until past 11:00. (Baby Jackson had a bad sleep week, so this was extraordinarily well-timed). Then he helped me weed and mulch the front yard. And then... he made Tomato Soup for dinner- no not Campbell's- REAL tomato soup: red onion and garlic sauteed in olive oil with fresh basil and heavy cream. Are you jealous? You should be. =] It was fabulous. I will post the recipe when I get around to it. As I am typing this, he is giving Jackson his bottle and putting him to bed. As many of you know, my husband has a crazy job with insane work hours and lots of pressure. He doesn't always get to spend as much time at home as he would like. But he knows how to make it count when I need it.

Hurray for helpful husbands. Way to go Dave. I need to have an extended chat with you sometime, Karen, but it's been crazy around here, too. Thinking of you guys. Do post your recipe.

Sounds like a yummy dinner (a yummy day, really.) Glad you got a well-deserved break, especially as you gear up to have my kids for the next few days. (Thanks in advance, by the way!)

Man--I'm still waiting to "meet" him again--I can't believe we haven't done anything as couples together yet! Busy men I guess!
