FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND.

As Father's Day weekend is rolling around, I thought it would be a good time for a post like this. I went through old pics and picked out some of my favorites of Michael from our ten years together, 8 of them as parents. Above, he is pictured with Jordan. She was 3 lbs, 11 weeks premature, and so tiny. I don't think he could see that. He just saw his precious baby girl. And with that baby girl's birth came my realization that my husband has more confidence and peace in his prayer life than anyone I know. I think that's why I love and respect TJ Files like I do. He has that prayer warrior gene, too. Daddies that pray are the best gifts we can give our kids.


Here he is with Karsyn. She was 9 weeks premature. We could not hold her much at all. When we COULD, it was for 15 mins at a time. Unlike most dad's I know, he didn't freak out at their small sizes, or call them "breakable," instead, we fought over who held her 8 mins and who held her 7. He is such a blessing. Such a strong, great, blessing.


He teaches them daily things; the big stuff, the little stuff, and everything in between. He lacks in the discipline department, but he overdoes it on love and nurturing. It makes me crazy when he lets them get away with stuff, but it makes me melt when they still meet him at the door squealing like he's been gone for a week, EVERY day. Must be doing something right.

He is the caring, compassionate person everyone loves to know. He has the patience of Job, more than one person has told me. He's got a weakness for animals, and babies, like no one I have ever seen. He loves Jagger and Jackson so much you'd think they were his. If I only have one of the boys here when he gets home, he makes me go get the other one, too.






We have so many fun, goofy memories chronicled in photos. I am glad I don't have that husband that runs from the camera. I have that husband that acts like a dork. And I love that dork :)

I am so very happy to say that my kids have been blessed with a man for their father that I can truly say I am glad they can look up to.

He's forgetful. On a CRAZY, get-on-your-nerves level. He has flaws, just like I do. But his flaws aren't that bad..... You take the good with the bad! I hope everyone has a GREAT father's day weekend. And as for MY daddy, he is doing pretty well. He made it to Jordan's game last night, and had a good time.


Call your daddy. Tell them you love them. I know I will. I am blessed to have TWO great daddy's in my life, my own, and Michael.
