Life with Michael :)

It’s been so fun the past few days helping Michael with his Personal Statement for Texas Med School applications. I just enjoy the time we get to spend together, and the fun we have. Tonight, I had so much fun giving him a haircut~I don’t ever want to forget the way we do the haircuts--him sitting in the bathtub on our giant wheat storage bin, his back covered in the curls from his head, and the way he always cleans the shower and the drains afterward. :) He’s great.

Here's a funny story from today: So, Michael is obsessed with the single tulip that’s growing outside our front door. He’s been its brave protector-- covering it with a garbage can to shield it from the morning frost, etc. Today was the first day we’ve seen it’s beautiful yellow petals open up! It's gorgeous and smells amazing. Well, also today, the lawn care guy was out doing the yard, and he walked past the window with a big blower that looked like a saw. Right as I saw him go by, I jumped suddenly and told Michael he was going to "get" the tulip! Before even thinking about how ridiculous my statement was, Michael leaped across the room and ran to the front door. About when his hand touched the handle, he knew I’d gotten him good. It was HILARIOUS to see how silly he felt---all about this little tulip! I love the way Michael is so concerned about plant growth. Hopefully someday we’ll have an awesome garden.
