Loving So Deeply

Apparently, it's a good thing I snagged Chad Hancock when I did. At Matt's basketball practice last week, Chad was proposed to . . . by a 3 year old (a little friend of Jenna's whose brother plays ball with Matt).

At the game this week, she proposed again. I stepped in to let her know I had beat her to the punch. Sorry Sister! She wanted details . . . "When did you marry him?" "Where did you marry him?" She wasn't going down without a fight. Chad and I got a giggle out of the whole thing. She kept patting Chad on the shoulder.

Miss Jenna, on the other hand, has long wanted to marry her Dad. She's had a hard time accepting that I got to him first AND that it's illegal to marry your Dad. However, if she can find someone LIKE him, she'll be in good hands.
Jenna does have a cute little bond with her Dad. It is devasting to her if she sleeps "too long" and misses saying "goodbye" to her Dad before he goes to work. Last night, she was really worried about missing him in the morning. It was almost more than her little heart could bare. I think he liked the extra hugs and kisses she delivered. (I think she enjoyed the extra bedtime stories that Dad's sympathy delivered!)

Garry is the preferred parent at our house, too. When Gavin hears the garage door opening, he literally stops what he's doing and RUNS to the door yelling "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" It's really cute. And I confess I love the break.

Amen! I have never been jealous when they love Chad more . . . for that simple reason: a break.
