Happy Fathers Day!



Matt has been working so hard lately and has almost been nonexistent from the rest of the world! I know he feels guilty and frustrated coming home late and also feels many frustrations from work and all the other obligations he has going on in his life. But we love him so much and are so proud of the man and worker he is!

Lexi has started a new manipulation tool with me. When I want her to do something, whether it be go to the bathroom, brush her teeth, get dressed, her answer is, "I'll just wait until my daddy gets home." I've always heard about little girls and their dads and I know I was one of those little girls as well, but I've just realized lately that Lexi really does think the world of her dad. I don't know if love is a milestone for a child to hit, but I know that she knows what love is because her dad taught her.

Tyler just wont stop growing! Especially his head! I'm just teasing, well, he really does have a huge head compared to his little body, but I still think he might be the best looking baby boy I have ever seen in my life. The past two months, Tyler has really started to ease off of me and started trusting that it is okay if other people touch him. Sometimes he'll even let them hold him! This has changed my life dramatically! Before, I couldn't put him down, much less take two steps away from him with out him having a total break down. He would follow me around crying and wheezing until I would give in. Of course I had to pick up my little wheezer! ( This has turned into his household nickname with Lexi and I, along with Bubba, Bruder, Bug and Son. He hardly is called by his own name!) Every time Tyler hears the garage door open, or hears keys rattling at the front door, he starts giggling, wheezing of course, and will wiggle his way out of my arms so he can go greet his dad. It amazes me that even in such a short life, he already knows that Matt is his dad and there is a special love for him that Tyler doesn't hold with anyone else!

As for me, I could never tell Matt how proud I am of him and how in love I am with him! I've always loved him, but as we go through more trials or anytime where our character is shown, I realize that I love him more that day then I ever believed was possible! He is a wonderful man and I couldn't imagine sharing our beautiful children with anyone else besides him. He will be very embarrassed by all of this, but that is one of the reasons why I love him as well.

After Matt and Tyler's birthday just a couple of weeks ago, we kind of drained out the budget for holiday gifts, so here's my gift to Matt...To tell the whole world wide web how much we love him! We love you Matt and you are the best daddy ever...Happy Father's Day!
