I am looking at this and wondering where he is gonna fit the baby - someone is gonna have to sit on his head :)
To the BEST DAD I know - my best friend - my husband! It seems like I have been talking a lot about how wonderful Steve is lately and I am not even sucking up for anything. Man what's happening to me?!?! I guess I really am just a warm, caring, wonderful wife - ok enough about me this is about Steve. With Fathers Day around the corner I can't help but think about how perfect my kids lives are because of him. They have no idea how good they have it to have him as their father. He is their hero in every way. When he walks through the door at night cheers literally erupt from all corners of the house and he is attacked with hugs and kisses before he even closes the front door. I can only imagine how hard it is for him to be away so much from them and miss as much as he does but for that one moment when he comes home I like to think that he knows it's all worth it.
I always knew he would be a good Dad from the very beginning because he is a good son. He has a good father who taught him how to be a good Dad.
I knew he would be a wonderful husband because he loves his Mom like any son should and she raised him to be a great man. He always puts me and the kids first. If he's not at work he's home with us. He makes sure he gives personal attention to each of them even if it's getting them egg sandwiches on the weekend and taking them with him in their PJ's. He builds endless lego sets with Steven. He lets Sam read the same book over an over to him. He treats every picture Bella gives him as if it were a Picasso. He lets Sophia eat all the food off his plate before he even takes a bite.
If my son(s) turn out even half as good as their Daddy then I know I did a good job. If my daughters are lucky enough to find their soul mates that are half as wonderful as their Daddy then they will get their "happily ever after" like I did!
I knew once he met his first born he would turn to mush. I knew then he would be an amazing father!
Then I gave him a son and his life was complete.....or so he thought :)
He is a great multi-tasker! Feeding one while giving out kisses to the other
He loves getting to share his birthday with Samantha - he hates the attention...and blowing out the candles. Plus this way it will always seem like he's younger than he is because there is always less candles then there should be.
Like Father, Like Son!
He was given another little girl to spoil. I was telling him in this picture - "ya know we can't just have 3"....
He can never say no to a spin around the dance floor with his little girls. It's practice for their big days many many many years from now....
He's a good protector :
He'll always be there to see them through anything...
He will always be supportive even when he doesn't agree with their choices....even if it's only clothing....
He's there for all the important moments!
He got another little girl to walk down the aisle someday - he's lost count now on how many fingers he is wrapped around:
Look at him grinning ear to ear - he just said "this is the last time I need to stand in front of a stork to take a picture"....little did he know :)
He always fits in with the other Dads!
He is so good at letting me take silly pictures of him with the kids - Memories in the making!!!
He's so proud of all his kids! There is no better example for them to follow!
OK this was what he will tell you was his BEST fathers day gift. 2 years ago I got him an autographed picture of Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. He loved it as you can see. Well I am full of surprises and this year's gift will top any gift he has ever gotten or will ever get - he is gonna freak and I am so excited I am not sure if I will be able to hold out until Sunday - NO I'm not having twins - although that would most definitely suprise him...lol
Here's a little hint - it's in this box. I used the white out just so you can see the size of the box:
Here's what's inside the box:
Obviously just a picture of it but its an official seat from Yankee Stadium. They just started taking them out so it should be another 4 weeks or so until it arrives. Needless to say Steve loved it! BEST GIFT EVER - ya know aside from the kids :)
The ideal husband and more;
I thought I knew all about you,
All the things to love and adore.
I saw new qualities to treasure.
You enrich all our lives in fresh ways;
As a dad, you bring so much pleasure.
To have a father like you,
And I love you more than ever,
You’re the best man I ever knew.
I love you babe! - I hope you have a good day and that you are able to relax even if it's just for a little while! Relax?!?! Who are you kidding these are our kids do they look like they know how to relax....lol
