The Ideal

I often hear women say they fell more in love with their husbands AFTER watching them as a dad.  I am one of those women.  Don’t tell my husband I told you this, but I actually think he is flawless when it comes to being the perfect daddy to our two small people.

delaney-week-1-001He held my hand from the very beginning – didn’t miss an ultrasound, talked to both babies right through my stretched tummy (even got kicked in the head when he put his head down on me), marveled at every kick and every turn and even squelched his own queasy stomach to be there for both births.

He will ALWAY be the hero to the two small people in his life.  And to his wife.

He is a snuggler, a coach, a comforter, a get-down-on-his-knees-and-play kind of daddy.

He couldn’t be any better.  And, you only have to hear the small people when he gets home to know he is THE BEST daddy in the world.

What a treasure in my life to be able to witness this type of love in my home!

 

Happy Father’s Day, Honey!

    I feel the same way about my hubby.. watching this big, strong man extend a gentle hand to his little “princess” just melts my heart.

    It’s amazing the love that we have for our hubby’s. You do have an amazing dad for your kiddos and a best friend for you.

    Very sweet that you put him in the spotlight today…well deserved especially after seeing the silly faces!

    I actually thought of y’all yesterday when the song “Delaney Talks to Statues” came to mind. I remembered that video from long ago of your family photos (minus one!).
    Hope you had a great Father’s Day, Jeff! Love the silly faces!
