my husband

[mellybrelly]

I probably don't brag about him enough on here.

He packs my diaper bag for me.
He always makes sure my water bottle is full of water.
He makes our bed every day.
He cleans the kitchen every night.
He takes out the garbage without being asked.
He gasses up the car.
He mows the lawn.
He does all the laundry.
He changes cloth diapers. He WASHES cloth diapers.
He lets me sleep in when I ask him.
He tucks a pillow behind my back in the middle of the night, when I'm sitting up nursing.
He is gentle.
He is funny.
He is awful in that way that makes me laugh. His sense of humour matches mine well.
He is loving.
He is considerate.
He is usually pretty patient.
He loves his children.
He reads to Paxton.
He talks with Reagan.
He hugs his kids. He hugs me.
He backs me up in parenting.
He isn't perfect, thank goodness.
He supports me and is supportive of me.
He let me be a stay at home mom, which was my dream.
He encourages me to go home to see my family.
He writes the best messages in cards.
He has great style.
He's handsome.
He's sexy.
He loves me, and people can see it.
His kids are not afraid of him.
His kids adore him.
He sacrifices for his children.
He takes the high road for his daughter.
He is just a really great guy.

One of the things that made me fall in love with him was the way he hugged Reagan when she was crying and throwing a fit, as a little four year old. He was just so gentle with her. I love my dad and he's a great dad, but I don't think he would have ever just stopped and hugged me when I was freaking out. I knew I wanted that kind of a partner, and that kind of father for my kids. I know he'll give Paxton the same kind of gentle kindness and patience he gave to Reagan. I'm grateful to have him as a husband and best friend and dad to my kids.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean!

[goldoyster.livejournal.com]

Wow, like a fairy tale :)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

We have our "I want to strangle you" moments, but overall, I think he's a good one. I met him here on LJ. :)

Love this and I'm very proud of the life you've made together. You've brought out the very best in him - and he's done the same for you.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You've seen us from almost the beginning!

Wow, he and Reagan really do have a lot of the same features.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Don't they look alike??? And then there's Paxton who look nothing like his dad. :P

[failureface.livejournal.com]

I wonder why Paxton looks nothing like me? Weird isn't it?

Hmmm...

*runs to call Maury Povich*

And the mailman disappeared... weird

They do! I always assumed she looked like Ada with her hair and all, but I can see Tim all over.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Tim used to be a blond like that too! Ada is blond as well (lol, I wrote bland by accident).

Aww - thanks for writing such nice things about me and keeping all of my evil secrets at the same time. :-)

Seriously though, I appreciate everything from today and always. It helps that I have an amazing woman by my side to share it all with. :-)

You are a great husband. I know we have bumps from time to time, but they are small and we are great.

He sounds like a great guy! And that photo of him and Reagan walking away is adorable.

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

I took that photo when we were going to the aquarium, Reagan was so little!!

You lucked out, babe! And so did he!

Thank you!!
