A man who can stand up and lead his family in love and tenderness while gaining the respect and admiration of his wife and children is a true gift from God.
I have been blessed with such a man. The road has been bumpy, yet he has stayed by my side every step of the way. His patience makes me so jealous and at times mad. I seriously wouldn't give him up for anything. He is the love of my life. He alone can make me smile. He can stop the tears in a split second.
Joshua is a one of a kind person. I can't even begin to describe all that he is and how great he is.
I remember the first time he held each of the children. The look of love and awe in his eye was enough to make any mother melt. I knew then that I had made the right decision to marry him and have his children.
I heard often that "men won't change diapers." I think we all heard that many times. I was blessed enough to get a man who isn't afraid to change a diaper, to dress the baby, to get up in the middle of the night to let mama sleep. He spends every waking moment striving to make us a better family unit. Everything he does is for his children. He works 10-12 hours a day 6-7 days a week. He is amazing. I know he comes home tired and would love nothing more than to just kick back and relax. But, that is not what he does. He comes home and loves on the children. Reading to them and helping them understand.
Leah is petrified of being in large bodies of water. Anything that she can't sit in is a NO GO. She still wanted to join the rest of us. So, Joshua decided to piggy back her and swim with her. It was priceless. And of course she was thrilled.
It always takes a little bit longer to do anything with the kids instead of doing it yourself. But, he still adds the kids into almost everything that he does. Just the little things in a child's life can make all the difference. Josh may be at work a great majority of the time, But, the children still LOVE him and look forward to every moment with him. They love pretending to be just like daddy.
Copying daddy sure does make for some of the cutest pics.
I know this is a lot of pictures. LOL But, it wouldn't be right for me to not acknowledge the man who keeps our family going. The love of my life and worlds greatest daddy.
I love you Joshua.
Please Share with us a picture of you and your dad or your little ones with their daddy.
Dad's deserve a huge shout out. So, lets do it!
