HI there. I'm sorry that I haven't been around much the past week or so. The project that I am consulting on is heating up and I have been working on it at all hours.

Yesterday had to do a radio show at 7:30 a.m. so asked H to come over to get kids up and take to child care. Then I joked that he should stay over night. Tuesday he came over late and actually stayed all night . What fun!

Then yesterday after I left for radio gig, he called to say provider was ill and closed. He took day off and stayed with S3 and then S5 after school. So I was able to continue on with my project work. This is also a very busy time for him at work, but he made the sacrifice for me - . He even did laundry while here and patched the sheetrock where I took the wall down.

Called him to say thanks late last night as I didn't see all that while he was still here. Then asked about annual tree cutting outing on Saturday. He hadn't talked to his friends about it and said that he had made other plans. I was shocked and said as much since we have gone every year since we dated (and he even proposed to me on the eve of one so we could share our news with everyone at it). I mentioned that kids have also asked about it because they too look forward to it and that they would be disappointed as well.

Anyway, he said he would call his friend and find out if it is Saturday. If it is he said he would change his plans (helping someone build a shed) so we can go.

Tonight we are going to Disney on Ice as a family. We got comp tickets from my brother's work. Should be fun.

So, while he hasn't made any move toward home as his living place, I think he is taking baby steps in this direction don't you?
