Happy Dada Day!

This Father's Day was wonderful!!!  I was a little afraid of being in a bad mood today.  I was up real late finishing things up with the kids for Josh's father's day gift from them.  When I woke up I was feeling like I still needed a couple hours sleep.  I wasn't really greeting my day with the happiness and thankfulness I should have.  When I  made coffee for Josh this morning I forgot to put the thingy back in the top that you put the coffee filter in and minutes later there was coffee all over the counter.   So while I was looking at the coffee puddle on our counter Houser (our dog) was whining at the door to go do his business outside.  In my head I was thinking emmmmm I want to be sleeping right now, and then Josh who had just woken up came into the kitchen.  I thought in my head, oh no!  I wanted to have his coffee made (and now cleaned up), and Houser taken out all before he woke up.  As usual though, Josh pitched in to help and took Houser out which is normally their routine anyway.  I cleaned up the coffee, added some more coffee and water to make it again and was feeling a little guilty.  Josh came in so happy the coffee was made.  One of the most amazing things about Josh is that he's always willing to pitch in and help.  He's never hesitated about changing diapers, calming Rylee down, playing with her when I needed to get some stuff done, and doing basically anything else that Rylee could ever need.  I feel that she's mostly my responsibility, I am blessed to be able to stay at home with her while Josh works for our family.  Every now and then though, you need a minute, or sometimes just a shower.  It's not always for those chaotic times though, most of the times it's just him playing with Rylee which gives me some extra time of my own.   Everyone has different views of what the husband/wife roles should be, some may agree, some may disagree with me.  All I know is that it means a lot to me to have that extra help, to know we are on the same team, working towards the same goal even if it's something as simple as getting dinner cooked while Josh and Ry read books.  There is a huge difference between offering help to someone and seeing that someone could use some help and just pitching right in to do it without saying a word or being asked.  Josh is definitely someone that pitches in.   I can't even begin to put into words how amazing Josh is as a husband and a father.  He is our rock.

So for Father's Day this year the kids and I all snuck out and I took some pictures of the three of them.  I think they turned out really, really cute!  3 amazing blessing that are in my life because of my husband!
