A Tribute to Daddy

Well, It's been a while since I've posted anything on our blog... how boring am I? So today I decided that I would find something to write about. As I looked through the camera at pictures, what did I find? All pictures of Josh loving his girls.

I've truly been realizing over the past few weeks what a wonderful husband I have. The last month of pregnancy is hard on everyone. I've noticed the girls are acting out more and are a little more grumpy than usual. I, of course, am just plain uncomfortable and grouchy with lack of sleep. Josh is stressed out but trying his hardest to keep our spirits high. His is doing double duty and taking care of so many more things than he should have too. Yet, he never complains.

As I was looking through pictures of the last couple of weeks I found these:




I took these pictures after getting out of the shower one morning and finding daddy teaching Elizabeth how to read. She's so excited now that she is learning how to sound out words.



Josh took this picture one day when I was not home. They were just playing outside having a wonderful time together. Josh is always the one to remember to take candid photos.



I took this picture after Josh flopped himself on the couch exhausted one day. He was only there a few seconds before both girls had to be right there with him. So much for resting... too bad he enjoyed every moment of their snuggles.



Elizabeth and I left to run a few errands, and while I was gone Rachel and daddy were playing in the bath tub. I think that Rachel is trying to squeeze the bath soap into a milk carton. Josh said she had a great time jumping around and splashing in the little bit of water left from his shower.

In conclusion, I just needed to remember to be grateful for the wonderful husband that I have and the wonderful father that my girls have. He always brings the most joy and happiness into our home. How lucky we are to have him!!!

That's an awesome post. I think your husband is awesome too. He was always fun to hang out with as a kid. He always makes everyone smile, and he's so caring. Say "hi" to him for me!

Josh is an awesome guy. It's nice when you realize how lucky you are to have a husband like that. Pregnancy, broken Ankles, baptisms...make husbands shine!!

Give it up for husbands that help with kids! They are wonderful!

Josh has always been an answer to prayers. I remember when he was a young teenager and prayed to know if Bridgette was to be his sister. He then said to me, "I know she is a part of our family. Go and get her." What a strong and faithful man he is. I love him too.
