A Few of the Things..

  A few of the things I love about the father that my husband is:

 ~ I love that we have a picture of seconds after Landon was born where the doctor had just laid him on my belly and Jonathan's eyes meet Landons for the first time and Jon is visibly shaken. I can't look at the picture without getting tears in my eyes.

~ I love that Jonathan plays monster on the floor with the kids, allowing them to kill him with a sword, wrestle him to the ground, and beat him with couch cushions 400 million times.

~ I love when Jon "rewards" the kids with junk food bc I am not around and it is their special thing.

~ I love when he prays with the boys

~ I love how he tells me cute things the kids did while I was gone

~ I love how when I have to leave occasionally for days on end, when I come home he seems to have a new appreciation for what being a mother entails.

~ I love how well he takes care of our children, and how I can trust him with their care...implicitly.

~ I love that he was just as excited when I told him he was a daddy a third time as he was the first time I ever said those words...maybe even MORE excited.

~ I love that he longs for the same things I long for regarding our children

~I love that he teaches the boys about wood working and camping and sports and boy stuff. And gets excited about taking them to boy movies.

~ I love that he loves our children and would lay his life down at any moment for that of our three children.

Happy Father's Day, Honey! Thanks for holding my hair back while I puked, and cooking dinner for months on end when I am pregnant, and for stepping up and growing up in so many ways over the past 7 years of our parenting journey. You are incredible.
