"Baby, get up.." I heard Tana's soothing, beautiful voice through my ears.
"5 more minutes.." I hated waking up early, it was the worst thing ever! It sucked!
"It's your turn to take the kids to school today, so get up." I felt the bed move as she got out and went to the bathroom. I lazily swung my legs off the bed, sitting on the edge. My eyes were still blurry, half open as I lifted my arms above my head and joined my hands as I stretched them and my muscular back. I stood from my comfy, king size bed, which I longed to be back in but I had my duties. I lazily strolled to the bathroom and started to brush my teeth as Tana brushed hers in our couples sinks, it was cute. I cleaned my pearly whites quickly and then checked the time. 8:30am. I had an hour until the boys had to be in school. Enough time for them to have breakfast and any complaint they had. I slowly walked to the walk-in closet, Tana and I shared and threw on the first plain white tee shirt I saw and my light blue jeans along with my boots that I adored.
"Gunnar! Come on! You're gonna be late for school! Hurry up!" I stood at the front door with Ammon, who was eager to get back to school after summer vacation. Ammon was now six, in his second year of school & Gunnar was four, starting school today.
Tana walks out of the kitchen in her robe with our beautiful baby girl, Elisa, in her arms and Gunnar walking alongside her with his backpack on his back. We had just recently been on vacation, in our favourite destination, Hawaii, we arrived home on Saturday and you could tell we had been away by the tan we all had. We were there for a week, not wanting to be away for long as school was starting today although I could stay there endlessly.
"Daddy, I'm ready!" Gunnar beams up at me, holding his hand out for me to take and I gladly take it.
I look at Tana, "where's Henry?"
"In the kitchen in his high chair. I better get back to him." She gives me her best smile, the ones I cannot get enough of, ever.
I quickly skip to my gorgeous wife as give her a kiss on the lips and one on the forehead to my 18 month old baby. Literally, a month after we had Henry, we were trying for another baby, and it happened straight away. She was born February 25th 2012, coincidentally, the same as The Beatles' lead guitarist, George Harrison. I thought that was pretty cool. My little girl was such a beautiful baby, with wavy brown hair around her petite frame. She had long eyelashes that covered her big brown chocolate eyes and she was absolutely beautiful, I just loved her so much. She was definitely a daddy's girl. I was the only one who could calm her down when she was crying, and I loved when she held on to my shirt and snuggled into my chest as she caught her breath after letting tears fall from her eyes, I hated seeing my perfect little girl upset or sad. She looked exactly like me and I'd never been so happy to add her to our family.
I took Ammon and Gunnar to the car. Strapping them both in in their car seats before getting in the front of my Jaguar XF. I had only recently had this car a few months back, and I loved it so much. I decided to treat myself for working so hard during the Battle Born Tour that we were doing and now there were only a few more months of performing left, and in about 2 weeks, we were all heading to Asia, where we had never performed before, so I was starting to get a little nervous, but I think I'm ready to see what the crowd's are like out there.
After I dropped my boys off at their schools, I drove over to the studio, cause the boys all wanted a quick practise and to do the set list for when we go to Asia. I got there right after Ronnie and we went straight inside and he did a quick drum solo, the ones he does during every concert. And they were amazing.
Once everyone was here, we got straight to work. Practising our songs for a good two hours and then we did the set list. And I'm sure the fans will love the songs we've chosen. We hung out for a while, even though being with each other for the majority of time, we never got tired of each other, and I thought that was amazing with us. Being with each other would never get old, even in 50 years time, we'll always love each other.
