Playground for Liam

I continually am astounded by the love of my life, Jay, in so many ways. Where do I begin? The amazing love for his little boy propelled him to think of building him a playset in our backyard. Of course, because my husband does NOTHING on a small scale, he took it upon himself to use a computer program, Sketch Up (the creativity and ability to learn anything), to draft a beautiful plan for this playset. It included two, two story towers, a bridge that joins them with swing set underneath it, a long, professional slide, climbing walls, internal ladders, and more. Three months later, he has amazed me again by actually having built three fourths of it. Every weekend and practically every night has been spent building it (which leads to my love of his determination, love, and perseverance to seeing something through- not to mention the quality he values most- being a man of his word). And can I say that the playset has already exceeded my expectations. As he always does. Liam said, "Mommy, that is not a playset, that's a playground." That sums it up. His craftsmanship and the seriousness to which he brings to everything he places his hands on further brings beauty and grace to our lives. I am ever so spoiled to have him in my life every day. I never have and never will take it for granted. I am a lucky, lucky woman!!
