Daddy

Recently, we got to celebrate Jon X 2! Both his birthday and Father's Day.

I know I totally take for granted how wonderful he is.

As a husband, he always encourages me to take time for myself, go out with my friends, or just go to bed early. He works so hard to provide such a wonderful life for us, he cooks, he will watch any movie I pick, and he always makes me laugh. He constantly strives to be a better husband, which is the greatest gift of all.

He is such a great Daddy to Caroline and Miles. To say that Caroline adores him is such an incredible understatement. She lights up at the sight of him, jumps up and down with excitement at the mention of his name, and wants to do everything he does. He is so much fun! They go on all kinds of adventures together and he teaches her all kinds of fun things. She swims with him, rides bikes, "works out", gardens, you name it.Have I mentioned that he is the Baby Whisperer? If Miles is fussy, I will try and try to get him happy with no luck and then Daddy will swoop in and save the day! He really is so good with him.

What a blessing he is to me not only as a husband, but also as the father of my kids.

Here are some pics of he and Caroline's latest adventures...

She loves to swim, of course. He has been taking her to the pool as often as possible. When we tell her we are going swimming, she rattles of the list of everything she will need..."My bathing suit, my hat, my life jacket, my sunscreen..." etc, etc. Here she is with her new Puddle Jumper life jacket, which she loves, and so do we!!!



Not a chance she would look at the camera. Notice her cute little pool shoes...Jon told me that for the record he did not want our children being the kids with the "aqua socks and the fanny packs" but I think her shoes are cute...for now ;)
We got her this trike at a garage sale for $5...that's no typo...FIVE dollars! They even threw in the Dora helmet for free! She can pedal a little, but it has a handle so we can help her. She loves it and wants to ride it ALL the time.
The biggest thrill for Caroline and Daddy is the new bike trailer! Another garage sale steal...$15. We can't wait til Miles is big enough so we can go on family rides :)

Getting strapped in...
Helmet on...
Ready to go!
And they're off!

I can't wait to see what they get into next :)

We love you, Daddy Jon!!!
Love,
Mommy, Caroline, and Miles :)
