my wonderful wife

I just want the whole world to know how wonderful my wife is. She has done such an amazing job of taking care of not only two kids but also a husband who can't even walk or carry kids or put dishes away or any of the things she has to do all by herself ever since I broke my leg. She has been so kind and loving and has done so much for me that I can't do for myself, and she's done it all with a smile on her face. The other day I tried to take my first couple of steps in my walking cast without crutches (which didn't work) and we were laughing because Steph now has 3 toddlers instead of 2. I won't humiliate myself by putting that video up, but let's just say I can't walk nearly as well as this one of Abby, and won't be able to for another month or two:

These videos are old, but I'm so proud of Abby for how well she's walking, especially when it's not exactly easy to learn when you have this going on:

And even while refereeing those two, Steph still found time to help me get things I can't reach, help me shower, make the house more wheelchair accessible, then help me with my cast and stuff when I graduated to crutches, and do all the other things you never realize you can't do with a broken shin. She even calls me at work to remind me to ice it and keep it elevated because, you know, it looks so professional to have my foot up on the desk all day:
She's the best girl a guy could ask for (wow, that totally sounded like Wally on Leave it to Beaver, didn't it?). She even took me to see U2 even though I know it isn't her favorite band in the world:

and she let me count going to see the Cowboys get their first regular-season home win in the new stadium (finally) as "family night":

and she didn't even mind that I couldn't dance or do anything at the wedding reception, which actually turned out to be cool because we got to just hang out with Grandpa on the couch:

and she's just been a wonderful wife and mother, and the kids and I are so lucky to have her. We have had so much fun together as a family and we've been very blessed, although I'm looking forward to being able to put Abby up on my shoulders and run through the house, or go do this with Marc again (and Abby soon) because I love how he says "yeah" after every shot:

and not only because it's such good bonding time, but also because it's hilarious to see a little kid walking with a big golf bag:

and especially to grab a burger in the clubhouse. You'd never know it from this picture, but Marc always has a great time up there, especially when he's dipping the fries in BBQ sauce and feeding the ends to me, and then eating the rest of each fry himself without sauce. Hilarious.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to being able to do all of these things again, and in the meantime I just want everyone to know how wonderful my wife is and how much I appreciate her.
