the House-Band

"This is the sort of shelf on which young wives and mothers may consent to be laid, safe from the restless fret and fever of the world . . . walking side by side, through fair and stormy weather, with a faithful friend, who is, in the true sense of the good old Saxon word, the 'house-band.'"
~Little Women

and he's home! it's amazing what a difference it makes when Hubs is home. finn and momma go a little bit crazy when daddy is gone. it's a different world, a different home, when he is here to calm storms, coax stubborn boys to sleep, soothe wound-up wife, and in general provide a shelter from the storm. i thank God for him, and do not know what i would do without him!
