Daddy's Girls

Doesn't matter if it's bedtime stories & giggles, sipping Daddy's morning coffee or weekend adventures with him, Emma and Livy adore their Daddy. They know his hugs are endless, that he protects them, cherish's them and will always want what's best for them. Livy shows her love with a huge smile when her Daddy comes in to get her in the morning. Emma becomes her Daddy's shadow, wanting to play 'taxi', swinging together, reading books and snuggling up in the mornings. She wrote a song recently for Andy, it goes "My Daddy is the best Daddy e---v----e----r!" in the most high-pitched tones you can imagine, and she means every word.

I am beyond proud of my girls' father. I'm challenged to emmulate his love. I haven't forgotten every stinky diaper he's changed while holding his breath, every early morning feeding he's jumped up to tend to, every night that he's remembered to read Emma a Bible story. Every tear I've watched him cry as he prayed with me for their future. I've also seen him enjoy and love each and every stage of their childhood, and I am so thankful.

These girls of ours will grow up to realize everything he's been willing to do for them, and just how incredible this man is that they call Dad. And my heart will be glad, because that man, is the one my heart loves.
