Foot in mouth and a wonderful date

So last night Daniel got to experience his "first" with Delilah. I feel so selfish because I get to spend all day with her so I see many firsts, where as Daniel gets the still new but not a first experience, definitely not as cool. Anyway, last night while he was bathing her she somehow figured out that she can get her toes into her mouth. It was the cutest thing ever! And I am so so so glad he could have the sheer excitement and joy of seeing her figure something new out! I love it. Now, much like her rolling over, it is non-stop tasty toes.

Daniel arranged for Delilah to stay with Lenore a little longer than usual tonight, and surprised me this week with a date. He took me to Stanford's in Walnut Creek, very nice! We had such a nice time. A good glass of wine, some tasty food and kisses, and nice donuts it was great! And as we were talking, the best part about it was going to pick up our daughter together, fully enjoying our time as a couple and then again as a family. I fall more and more in love with my husband. Yes there are times when we are not "close" but I never loose my love for him. There are even days when I do not like him that much, but I am the most blessed wife there is. I can never imagine my life, my heart with out him, my other half, the better half of me. We so needed time together, time just to be in love.

Today on my way around int he car, in between chores, I found myself in deep, very emotional prayer. Having the time in the car, by myself, with nothing but my thoughts and a little Third Day, I prayed like I haven't prayed in years. I wasn't sure at first what I was praying about, I just let go, let God... so to speak. I realized he has answered every one of my prayers, granted not in the ways I had imagined, not in the time I had expected, but that is what makes it so rich, so wonderful. And yet the sad part was I had not realized all of this until today. I am blessed, and still have so much to ask of God. But I guess that is the human part of me, the part that needs Him, always, and that is why He is there. I have chosen a path in the last year that has fears, a path that for the first time in my life is so responsible, so clear and healthy, and that is new to me, and scary, and I have doubts about it, but I know, just as God has done before, he will come through, carrying me now, just as He has done before.

Delilah has been teaching me lately to look deeper into things. That even if things are good on the surface, sometimes you need to pick the scab to help the wound heal. Sorry that was kind of gross. But what I mean is I am learning to look at thing close, to challenge my comfort zone. I love that Delilah is helping me to dig deeper into things that sometimes are too placid.
