The Greatest Dad!

I was fortunate to marry a wonderful man who became an even better father. Jason is good to our kids. That poor man's belly has been jumped on enough in the past 4+ years to make us have no need for a trampoline. He is tough on the boys, but at the same time, he's very loving. He never calls when I have a night with the girls or a weekend away--he just knows what to do which makes my life much easier. My boys and the new addition are more than lucky to call him Daddy.


We decided to surprise Jason with an early Father's Day celebration tonight (Thursday). Jason and I are heading to Savannah tomorrow and won't return until Sunday. I was worried that his Father's Day would get kind of passed over since we will be driving, going to get the boys, and spending time with my dad. We are giving him his presents tonight, and I bought big ol' pork chops to grill out. I'm not a fan of pork chops, so we don't have it often (aka a treat for him). The boys and I also made signs for him (see below). I hope he enjoys his night. He's had a tough week at work and deserves this. Happy Father's Day, Jason! We love you!


I also wanted to do a little bragging on him in regards to his most recent project. We are moving Landon up to the bedroom upstairs (bonus room) when the baby comes. We finally bought him a bed and dresser, but he needed a bookcase. So, Jason went to work and built him one. Below is a picture of the almost finished product. It still needs to be painted (the white is primer), but you can tell what great work he's done! I'm so proud of him. :)

SIDE NOTE: As most of you know, Jason's company is merging with another one at the end of this month, so we've been unsure of his job status. Today he was offered the job as branch manager (his current title) of the combined branch. This branch will be a very large one, and he'll have quite a few more people reporting to him. He'll have his hands full, but I know he can handle it. Once again, I'm proud to call him my husband!

That's GREAT news about his job. Mergers are so scary...you never know how it will come out. We had that when Tony's company was bought out but it worked out fine for us too. Your blog is wonderful and so is the bookcase Jason made. Happy Father's Day Jason.
