Sweet Moments

I'm going to take a minute here and brag. I have a lot to brag about, but I'll keep it to one thing: how amazing and wonderful Miles is with his boys. I love witnessing the tenderness and love and joy that comes oozing out of him everytime he sees them.

He and Austin have been playing this game where Dad will hide and I'll say "where's Daddy?" Austin will look all around and then his face will light up as his vision connects with Dad's.
Miles will change his position and pop up in different places and it's amazing to see Austin search the room, and even lean over to peek around the couch. He sure loves his Dad.


(But really, his smile is bigger, his eyes sparklier and he even scrunches his nose the way I do. It looks better on him than it does me...)

The exciting interactions are fun and wonderful, and then I see a quiet, tender moment such as this that just melts my heart.


I wish we had endless pockets of money so that we both can stay at home and watch the boys grow and hang out with them, cuz they are so much fun! But then again, there would be no reason for them to be excited to see him if he never left. They keep their eyes on the front door after he leaves for work, and nothing has ever made my heart so sad nor so happy to see that they miss their Dad and notice that he's gone.

Thank you, sweetheart, for all that you do and for being such a great Dad. I couldn't have given my boys any better than you.
