Happy Father's Week!

I hope you have all enjoyed your Father's Day weekend, past. I suppose it is customary to congratulate Fathers on your blog. Well, here is the primo Father in my life right now. He is such a wonderful father to our children and a wonderful husband to me. Without his husbandry, my motherhood would be. . . well, worse than it is! Thank you for all you do! He reads books about raising a future man and listens to all my dribble with interest about books on mothering and discipline! He works hard. At his job, on our house, with our children and many other areas.

Of course, it should go without saying that he is what he is because of the leading of God's will in his life and also due to the influence of his father, now known as Grandad and much loved by our children, and perhaps even a little by his father-in-law, known as Pops, who can draw amazing pictures of trains, cars and make funny impersonations besides! We are so grateful for the tradition of fatherhood in our family!

me: "JG, I love you sooo much."

JG: "And I love my daddy."

Can I see it?

I was explaining today to JG that the clouds in the sky bring the rain that we were watching pour down. To my feeble attempt at explaining this in two year old language, he replies:
"Can I see the bucket up there?"
