a daddy's love

There's truly nothing like a daddy's love for his daughter is there?

It's such a special relationship. One that definitely shapes the way a girl views love, trust, and many other values, if you ask me. A daddy is a little girl's first love!

I'm blessed with the perfect-for-me father, and I'm so very thankful for him.

my dad and me - 1988

July 5, 2008

My dad is now Jaqsy girl's G-Pop, and it is the sweetest thing! He adores her with every ounce of his being...it's quite clear for anyone to see! I think he was made for this grandpa business :)

I knew Rob was going to make an excellent dad, but he's even better than I could have ever imagined. He just bursts with pride over our little angel...

just look at the adoration!

Watching their sweet little bond makes my heart swell and my eyes go misty.

I can't imagine anything better, really. Jaqs will learn so many things from her daddy...patience, what love is, and football, of course. Most importantly her daddy will show her what to expect from men and her husband. Not that her dad will let her date...ever ;)

true love

Rob has been so hands-on from day one, and I'm grateful for the way he just jumps in. He had never changed a diaper before Jaqs, but now he's diapering, burping, swaddling, lotioning, and accessorizing like a pro. He's so great at being a girl-dad!

bedtime stories

We celebrated father's day with Rob's grandparents while we were in Abilene last weekend, and Jaqs was giving Popo the biggest grins! He loved it. So special...I'm glad I have pictures!

 Unfortunately Rob lost his dad when he was just a baby, but I just know that he would be extremely proud of his son and the father that he's become.

Happy Father's Day Dad and Rob!! You both ROCK at being dad!!
