Instead of whining about far behind I am on my blog, I am going to say that sometimes things just happen for a reason. Maybe there is a reason I hadn't yet finished this blog about daddy. Maybe my heart has recently began to have heart overload in a new and different way for this man who I call my husband and my children call dad, daddy, and daddiola.
How I got so lucky to have Chris in my life, I will never know or understand, but I will always be grateful. He is a wonderful husband, a fantastic daddy, and just a really good human being. I wish I did a better job of celebrating him and expressing how grateful I am that he is mine and that I am his and how thankful I am that we have the privilege of growing our family together. I should tell him these things every day, but instead two careers and two crazy kids sometimes has a way of leaving me with only the words "I love you." Those are nice words and those words are necessary and a part of our daily vocabulary, but because of the their frequency and the habitual way we often utter the words, they also don't really quite do justice to the way I feel about Chris when I really take time to reflect on what he is to me. Today and every day, I love Chris, but I also appreciate him, learn from him, think he is funny, think he is hot, admire him, trust him, respect him, look at him with amazement, wonder how he can accomplish so much in a day, feel encouraged by him, seek his advice, and take comfort in him. I have so much more than love for this man, I have heart overload for him.
Happy father's day daddy!
Happy birthday daddy. The third week of June is officially daddy's week!
We love you so much, Chris. Thank you for giving us so much.
