We woke up to a beautiful day and were privileged to celebrate our favorite guy. Daddy as these babies call him:
-The boys always want Daddy and I am getting use to that (as they use to be momma's boys)
-He is their buddy
-He calms Noah down and can always get to the heart of the issue
-He gets up with Luke at night when the little guys is having growing pains in his legs and feet
-He calms Noah down when he's having bad dreams
-He gets up with Anna when I don't hear her the 1st time
-He provides for our family
-He sometimes has the weight of the world on his shoulders
-He plays on the floor with his children
-He teaches in a way I never could
-He stories to these boys in a way that they remember and can retell stories
-He tells our children about Jesus and about God's great love and sacrifice
-He gets my coffee every morning and the boys breakfast
-He is the driver of the family
-He plans our trips
-He takes care of the bills
-He can and does take turns cooking
-He takes the boys to ride their bikes
-He does most if not all the office work
-He makes grocery runs and pharmacy runs and doctor runs
-He folds laundry
-He irons
-He vacuums
-He puts up with all my lofty ideas
-He loves my family
-He gives piggy back rides
-He gives horsey rides
-He teaches them how to throw a football
well I could go on and on but these are just a few of the things lately I have noticed he does well;
Momma forgot to make his favorite cinnamon rolls for breakfast but we did have Cheesecake Sopapillas instead. It's a dessert but who cares about all that stuff. We ate it and enjoyed it.
Looking back I am thankful he stayed with me that first night after all of our babies were born in the hospital.........to enjoy our newborns but to help and support me. So thankful for my Drew. I suspected but had no idea how great a Father he would be.
And today I am so thankful for my Daddy back home in Mississippi. He was all things to me growing up and taught me so much. Most importantly about Jesus.
