Sweet Corn love language

So, it's Wednesday, and I've had a post on Paisley nearly ready for almost 2 months.  But, I am having a hard time finishing projects these days.  So, that will have to wait.  I know, I'm sure you are all bummed.  If you're like Bill, you love reading about my favorite patterns.  ;)

Well, today I wanted to share some recent highlights in our little world.

First -  Eli did THE CUTEST THING ever the other night.  We were all sitting on our bed, and I was asking for night-night kisses from Eli before Bill took him to his bed.  So, he gave me a kiss.  Love that, but it gets better.  Then, Bill and I kissed... you know, because we were there and it seemed like the right thing to do.  We caught Eli watching us and smiling, but what he did next blew us away!  He came over to me and pushed the back of my head towards Bill, asking us to kiss!  He would give me a kiss between each Bill kiss, but eventually he had his hands behind both of our heads, moving us together to kiss!  It was really the sweetest thing he's done in a lonnng time.

So, as you all well know, it's produce season.  This corn season flew by in a blurry of sleepness nights, ears of corn, and post it notes.

Wait, huh?  Post Its?

Does that make you all think of Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion?  On another note... that reminds me of the fact that my 10 year high school reunion is next month.  Sheeeesh.  I'm old.

Alright, back on track.

Bill and I resorted to leaving messages on our mirror as our form of communicating during those four weeks. Here are just a few examples:

Ok, fine.  I'm a big cheeseball.  ;)

He's such a one-upper.  ;)
These stayed on our mirror for a few weeks and were a sweet reminder of that hubby of mine that was off loading semi loads of sweet corn.

These led Bill to comment that perhaps our love language really is corn.  I couldn't get him to actually read that book, so he doesn't know that ISN'T an option.  ;)

Here's another example of how messages were conveyed through post its:
Surprise!!!  Or, did my earlier hints give it away?  ;)
No, I didn't inform him through post its, but I did leave it there as a reminder for him for a few weeks.  And, yes, I was shocked, so TWO tests were required!!

Sweet Shelby Baby Dos is due February 5, 2012!  Eli will turn TWO on March 26th, so I pray daily for just some sanity.  I don't expect full sanity - I know that's nearly impossible with a newborn - but at least some would be appreciated!  We're beyond thrilled for this sweet blessing!

Thanks for hanging in there with me as I basically pretend I'm a blogger.  :)

Love!!

  1. YAY!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! I had a feeling you were when I read your "Almost 96" post b/c you were falling asleep in public places! haha! :) So excited for y'all!!! I didn't think you could top Eli's kissing story, but you did! However, I love that story b/c it just goes to show how important loving your spouse is for your kids! They love that security and they also need to see a good example of marriage so they know what to look for themselves. Loving your spouse is one of the bests gift a parent can give their children!
