During the holidays we get a chance to (hopefully) slow down and remember what is important in our lives and reflect on all of our blessings. As I have reflected this season, I am struck be how blessed we are to have four beautiful and healthy children. They are growing so fast and bring so much excitement to our lives. I have also been blessed with a wonderful husband and our babies have been blessed with an amazing Dad.
Not only can he handle our little herd, but he does it willingly and with amazing patience. Jon has an amazing way of keeping the babies calm and distracted. Granted, he can hold them all at the same time (see below) which does wonders for distracting them. However, despite a stressful full-time job, he is willing to watch the kids on his own so that Mom can get some much needed away time with her friends or let Mom go to Florida with Austin for a long weekend to visit her sister, leaving him with the 3 babies. It takes a super Dad to be able to pull that off.
Even though things are stressful, he goes out of his way to make things easier for me and the kids, from sending flowers and being supportive of my decision to return to work to taking time off to take Austin to the zoo and ride on Thomas the Train. The kids and I could not have asked for a more loving and devoted Dad. We love you Daddy!
