8 years and Father's Day!

On June 22nd, Wilson and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! It's amazing to think that we love each other more today (and everyday) than we did the day before... but it's true! God has been so good to us. He has given us wonderful times together and precious blessings. I am so thankful for His gracious, merciful hand in our lives. When I stop and think, I am truly amazed and humbled at the sweet, sweet family He has given me.

Wilson and I enjoyed going out to dinner on our anniversary. It was a great night to spend reminiscing and just being together.

I love you, Wilson! Happy Anniversary!

Now, let me say a little about my husband and what a great daddy he is...

Wilson is a wonderful father. He loves our children so much and I thought I might just list a few of my favorite ways that he demonstrates his love:

• coming home to us as quickly as he can in the afternoon to play - swinging, riding bikes, mostly outdoor activities!
• he is "hands-on" - he gives baths, changes diapers, etc.
• wrestles, swings, and rough-houses - not that I love all the rough & tough play... but I know it's good for those boys!
• plans fun activites... just last night, he and the boys had a "camp-out" in the playroom - complete with sleeping bags, pillows, a tent, and a portable DVD player with Toy Story 2! (I was gone, so sadly I don't have any pictures of the fun that they had!)
• disciplines, teaches and prays with & for our children
• reads Bible stories with the boys every night and teaches them about our great God... When I asked Andrew what he wanted to give Dadda for Father's day he said "A new Bible story book for him to read to us at night." I'm so thankful for that nightly story time they have together and love that it means that much to Andrew, too!
• gives hugs and kisses freely
• plays and makes things fun!

Sweet pictures of Wilson and our little ones...

Happy Father's Day to the best Dadda ever!!! We love you!
