Me & Todd and my little brothers went on our first "date," 12 years ago. We took the boys to see Toy Story just before Christmas.
I liked Todd. We worked together. Something was brewing, maybe.
At some point during the movie, I looked at him out of the corner of my eye and thought,
"I want someone like that for my kids."
Now granted, I didn't have any kids. And I didn't mean him. No sir. It's was our first date. And it wasn't even a real date, but....someone like him. Someone kind, and dependable, and funny and smart. Someone with integrity. I thought he'd be a really good dad.

Today at Alvin and the Chipmonks, I looked at him out of the corner of my eye again. This time he shared his popcorn with a pretty little brunette. A blond haired boy sat between us, eating a pretzel.
And I was right.

Aw. You have a beautiful family!
Nice post.
So sweet.
Sounds like a little slice of heaven.
You knew a good thing when you saw it, so did he. There is nothing sexier than seeing your husband being a darling father. Nothing.
Lovely. What a wise woman you were [are!] We're hoping to nip out to watch Alvin too.
Best wishes

I want to know what he was thinking on that first date. I'm betting it was pretty similar to what was going on in your head...
Sometimes you gotta trust your instincts. :)
Love the before and after image. :)
Merry Christmas!!
You are such a wise woman.
And he's not too bad, either.
xo
How heartwarming.
