Remember when...

A couple weekends ago Zach took our boys on a father son's outing to our family cabin. They of course had a great time and our daughter and I, had a great time too.

The day they left I had a doctor appointment (no, I'm not pregnant). He called just after the time I should have been done to see how the appointment went. Small thing, but it really meant a lot to me.

Remembering the little things our spouse has going on and asking about them afterward can really go a long way. It shows you care, and with all you have going on, you are still thinking about them.

This is another reason why our planning time on Sunday is helpful. I write down things on my schedule that he has going on so I will remember and he does the same. There is less of the "you didn't tell me you had a girls night tonight! Sorry, I'm going with the guys." type of mix ups.

Anyway, the apple for the day is: call your spouse today just to check in. Ask them how things are going (and follow up on the specific things if you know of any). Just let them know you are thinking about them. Doesn't have to be a lengthy conversation and you can even leave a message. Just so they know you care.
