Pic of the Day ~ J with his kids ~
J seriously adores his kids. I am so lucky that he is such an active and involved Dad. He truly cares about their well-being and supports all my parenting ideas (even the more “crunchy” ones). We are headed to the beach tomorrow for a fun Father’s Day treat before the real work of moving starts. Can you believe it we move in like a week and a half?!?!
J wakes up with Ethan every night, changes his diaper with his eyes half open then passes him to me to nurse, before passing out again. EVERY NIGHT. J gets up every morning, helps Becca with breakfast. This has been their routine since she was six months old starting solids. EVERY MORNING.
Until recently, J was the one to bath Becca every night (we switched her to an pre-supper bath to avoid hyperness right before bed). Every night the four of us crawl onto Becca’s bed and read stories.
He babywears, changes cloth diapers, washes said diapers, co-sleeps when needed, uses postive discipline and pretty much takes my word on parenting decisions, supporting me 100%. He has stayed home with a sick Becca so I could meet my mystery mom, he ensured I could go knitting every Sunday by using that time to be with Becca one to one.
He danced a jig to make me laugh while having contrations with Ethan. Held my hand when I screamed, asked the nurses to get me an epidural when I could not take anymore pain, then whispered encouragement in my ear as the needle was jabbed into my back.
Above it all, he supports my dream to stay at home with the kids, valuing it as much as I do. Even though that means we eat a lot of spaghetti, do not have all the latest gadgets and share a car.
From all of us … Becca, Ethan and myself … Happy Father’s Day J! We love you! xoxo
Dad … You always came back, even when no one else did…You are my best friend, we love and miss you so much! Becca says that you are going to help her make a snowman in Los Alamos (not sure if there will be snow when you come in the fall but she will not be convinced otherwise!) Thanks for always believing in me Dad …

There’s nothing than a baby unless it’s a MAN with a baby huh?
How lucky they are to have a Dad who likes to be with them.

A very beautiful shot of the proud daddy! Happy Father’s Day to J.
Cheers to your weekend!
Aw, I want one! You are so lucky – my dad can’t even be bothered to open a card on Father’s Day which is why I stopped buying/making them.
What a guy…
Happy Fathers Day J!
Sweet post. I shall go get a kleenex now, sniff sniff.
He sounds like a wonderful guy – and what a blessing to be married to someone who supports you so thoroughly!
What an amazing husband you have! Happy Father’s day J.
You need to frame that picture! It’s priceless.
Oh, I tagged you. You’ll have to read my blog to see what!
That was so nice to read. I’m glad you had such an enjoyable day and you picked such a great man to be the father of your beautiful children.
Happy Belated Father’s Day to J. I am so happy for you that J is such a wonderful and considerate daddy and hubby.
Our world needs more guys like your J and my M
Imagine if all wives and kids had them in their homes – it certainly would be a different world.
Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.
Send him my hugs too…
J is a great daddy! Happy Father’s day!
Glad your day went so well!
