day of the daddy

#1 dad

wow. what. a. weekend.

it was full of celebration. full of togetherness. full of love. my cup truly runneth over. i am already in bed as i post this. trying to catch up on all the lost sleep of packing a weekend of love, dads, yummy food and hot sticky babies.

we had everyone over for dinner. our house was full of celebration, yummy food and lots and lots of love. who doesn't love squash casserole, kerbey lane queso, sweet tea and coconut cream pie? i hope all the men in our lives felt loved and know that they are appreciated to the fullest. my dad looked super happy seeing all of the kids running around and i know whits heart was right. right with all he does for our children to make life good for them. 

the weekend was full. they moved up in their class at church, attempted to do a I (HEART) DAD foot pic(FAIL) and even squeezed in a pool visit. it was a good father's day weekend. Oh and did we tell you? School was a success! despite my efforts to keep them little- they are growing up. lots of growth in these three littles this year. lots in mom too.

i hope most of all that whit felt celebrated. celebrated for the joy, drive, obedience and love that he puts into this home. we talked last night about the sermon and he took to heart the part about being the leader in the home and how your children's hearts follow a dad that follows Jesus. sometimes it feels like we are brand new parents and sometimes it feels like, HEY, we are getting this down....

we were exhausted when we finally said good-bye to everyone. the kids who usually hit the hay before sundown were burning the 9pm oil....and as a tradition on these family nights- becker put on a delirious dance party. he made up moves i don't think any of us have ever seen. he couldn't stop performing for cameron and jill and giggled until we turned out the lights.

happy father's day to all you dynamite dads. whit, i married you for so many reasons- never realizing that one of the most important ones would be what i see daily in you. you daddy our babies so good. thank you for being so grand.
