Last weekend we hung out with Mark's Godparents-- Knute and Annie Lee from Albuquerque, New Mexico. They were in Coeur d' Alene, close enough drive, and we wanted to spend some time with them. Although I never doubted all the HYPE Mark portrayed about these people I had never experienced it for myself as we were busy getting married the first interaction I had with them. Well, the hype is true. I had two VERY unruly/obnoxious children to interfere with the relational aspect but when I had the opportunity I just soaked it in. They are sooooo RELATIONAL! I was so happy to just listen to stories about their lives and about their knowledge/experience with "Mark Marvelous" (that's what they called him). Knute is EXACTLY how Mark will be when he gets a little older. He's just a brute of a man but oh-- such a softy! And what struck me the most is that he loved his wife and KNEW her-- strengths and weaknesses. I loved this family. Mom is strong and squared-away and Dad is.... Well, he's the perfect man because he is so much like my husband so why wouldn't I call him the perfect father/husband.
Ok, I can't rave about this family any longer as Gracyn is huffing a helium balloon so I need to go take it away from her.
