Props go out to Super Mom
I usually do an update on the boys, but today I’m going to do an update on what’s going on with Amy.
My wife is Super Mom. She gets up every morning between 5 and 6 and heads off to school or clinicals. Her day is full of classes or on the job training at a nearby hospital. She gets home most days around 3 in the afternoon and relieves “Neesey” from watching the boys. On a warm day she heads to the park with the kids. On some cold or rainy days she packs the kids up and visits grand-parents. On others she vacuums around toys or she folds clothes while watching Polar Express for the 1,000th time. She gets the kids snacks. She plays with them. She gets dinner ready. She cleans them up. I get home around this time and take over with the kids while she heads to her desk and begins studying. She studies until it’s time to go bed most nights. The next day: Rinse and Repeat.
Weekends aren’t any easier for her. She is either at a study group, at her desk, making a road trip to a medical facility (a requirement for school), cleaning, cooking or taking care of the kids. Of course I help, but I don’t come close to the amount of time she spends taking care of our household and just being a great parent.
She does all this without complaining (well maybe a little sometimes).
Thank You Amy (Mom)… from Alan, Josh and Nate

You are aware that your nanny sounds like a prehistoric Scottish lake monster, right? Just checking…
As someone that has to put up with Alan at work, I too congratulate Amy for her kindness, etc.
Not to take away from Amy’s spectacularness, but I’m still waiting on an entry about Remy. He should earn his place up there at the top-right.
