The Best Father

How did I end up so blessed? I mean really-- John is one amazing Dad (and husband). From the moment that we were expecting our first child, I knew he would be a great Dad.

Whether he is helping to lace up skates at a roller rink--

or helping one of his daughters jump over a wave--

or helping a child with a bible study--

or just lovingly watching a Mandy Moore music video with them--

he is always giving-- of his time and love. What an example he is to our sons so that they can grow up and be good Fathers themselves one day. What a great example he is to our daughters who maybe didn't have a such a good roll model for a father before they joined our family. For one daughter-- he is the first father she has had in at least six years. Not only that, but he is showing each of our daughters wonderful qualities to look for in the man that they will one day marry.
Counting my blessings tonight.
