not this cute anymore!But since we're on the subject of the man who plays with a pool full of kids, let me just say that I really do love Aaron. I always knew that I loved being around him, but I didn't know that after 10 years of being together (11 since we met) that he would make me THIS happy.
Tonight we watched Jim and Pam's wedding together. I was a bit disappointed-- until the boat scene, of course. ( Why do all shows have to turn so dirty?) When it was over I said to Aaron, "Aren't you glad that I only made you wait ONE year and not FOUR?" He grabbed my hand and with a completely serious face he said, "I would have never waited FOUR YEARS for you." And I smiled.

I am still sleeping terribly. Well, when I do sleep it's great, but I am often awake in wee hours of the morning. The other night after tossing for a while, Aaron moved to my side of the bed and cuddled with me. This is the conversation we had at 3 am:
A: having a rough time, eh?
J: wide awake.
A: is there anything I can do for you?
J: what do you think about naming the baby Roman? I wrote about my Grandma last week on my blog and have been thinking about it ever since.
A: I don't think either of us would be satisfied.
J: why not?
A: because I don't love it and deep down you want a Roma.
J: so-- if you're naming this little boy, do I get to name our first girl?
A: Nope. but you can name our fourth girl.
J: bummer.
A: how are you supposed to see the houses when you're hanging your head down so low?
J: are you asleep?
A: no. we're having a conversation here.
J: well, is that some kind of metaphor I'm not familiar with?
A: what are you talking about?
J: see what houses? what do you mean by hanging my head down?
A: (snoring)
J: (trying not to giggle too loud)
he rolled over annoyed and didn't think it was funny until morning.

Last weekend, the boys and I went to watch one of Aaron's tennis matches. He is so coordinated and I love that he makes it a priority to work out often. He takes such great care of himself.
We all loved watching him cream his opponent. But the best part of the match was after it was all over. Ben, Luke and Zack stormed to court to give their Daddy a high five. They were so proud and I couldn't help but smile as he scooped them all up.
There's nothing like seeing the one you love adore your children just as much as you do. This is definitely the good life.

Thanks for that laugh. I needed it. Sounds like some conversations I have had... currently. :)
I was disappointed in the most recent episode of The Office, as well. I took it as a personal offront that being "old fashioned" and "conservative" were portrayed as such unreasonable things to be.
I think the name Roman is a great idea on behalf of Grandma Roma. If it doesn't fly for a first name, maybe a middle name? You could name him Fred Roman (after grandpa too). Or Roman Fred! Endless possibilities. Either way, Grandma would be tickled pink. Well, blue I guess. :)
