Isaac is suffering from a pain trifecta right now: He seems to be growing massively (as evidenced by his now THRICE nightly feedings of full bottles), we're seeing his first tooth starting to surface, AND he caught a cold.
In spite of it all, and between jags of crying with rage at a cruel world, he somehow manages to smile and coo and cuddle all the same. But Daddy is a bit bleary eyed at the extra feedings.
Bella has started coughing like Sparky the seal last night, and had to be cajoled into taking cough medicine: It started with a promise of extra videos is she just took the dang medicine, and I think where we left it is that she gets a Miata on her 16th birthday and a Pony and two golden retrievers. There is nothing like the bargaining power of a sick child against sleepy parents.
One quick "making it all worth it" quote: Two nights ago, I was putting Bella to bed, having a cuddle and some jokes, and I asked her to tell me something nice about her day. She thought for a little bit, and she turned to me and said:
"This is my favorite part of the day. Right now."
I had to tell her it was mine too.

We were telling in North Minneapolis this evening. Conversation wound round to Iraq and would they be running out of men pretty soon - seeing as how there's a certain preponderance of violence there. Conversation wound down to men in general and I used the story you ended with as a way to turn the conversation around: Men are amazing and here's just one story about one. Thank you for this story! Oh, and you are held in much esteem, dear.
