Seeking Help

Rachel asked on your FB account, "Hey Lans, how are things on cloud 9? We miss you on cloud 7."

It's true. While it is finally settling in that you really aren't coming home, we still just miss you so very much. We are getting into routines and Ben is adjusting to life as a single parent. He called me on the way over to drop the boys off elated with his latest morning accomplishment, "I put the boys in the bath first thing and feed them in the bath. The kitchen stays clean, it saves time, they eat better and get their bath. Then all the food just dumps down the drain when I take my shower."

And as always those boys LOVE their daddy. They come with little red rashes on their necks and checks from where Ben has nuzzled and smooched them with his prickly beard.

I am so thankful he has those boys to keep him going and spirits up. Ben is hoping to find someone to move in to help in the evenings and for company - preferably the non-crazy type. Here is what he has in mind:
He has two extra rooms and is hoping to exchange free room and board for extra help in the evenings with the boys and cleaning. Person could easily work a full time job or go to school and could have a child or two.

So Lans, work your magic if you can and send us an angel or if someone reading is interested or has a friend- spread the word.

I remember in May when I came to take candid pics of you guys I found Matthew like this. . .
Ben would help him get messy and you would clean him up.
Ben told me when you were in sick, "You know before Lana was sick I was actually really clean. Ever since she got sick I've just been so messy." Soooo funny. You really had us all fooled that we were awesome, but it was easy to reach high when we were standing on your shoulders.
