I met a man (boy?) almost 17 years ago and from that first date I knew I'd marry him. It didn't take long to see what a good father he had the potential to be. That only further solidified my feelings of wanting to marry him. But it wasn't until he actual became a father that I saw just how wonderful he was/is.
This man is my partner. That's right partner. We had these kids together and we both believe that it's both of our jobs to raise them together. From the beginning he changed diapers and gave baths (albeit he was so scared!!!) and was an active participant in every aspect of our kids' lives.
I could write paragraphs about what a great dad George is and mean every word, but I don't want to bore everyone. Just know this-- my children love and adore this man!!
Jack would choose George over me any day of the week. I don't like to admit it, but it is true. Jack will literally count down the minutes until his dad gets home from work. My favorite part of the day is when George walks through the door and Jack screams at the top of his lungs, "Dada's home. Nicholas, Ella, Daddy's home" all while jumping up and down.
Jack gave George a pair of jammie shorts that he picked out. Of course he was so proud to give them to his daddy.
It wasn't the shorts, however, that made George smile like this.
Each of the kids did a "fill in the blank" for George. I knew when they made them he would love it and he did.

| My dad is 19 years old. He has gray hair (hahaha!!!!) and his eyes are brown. My dad like to wear Nike. He love to eat salad. What??? My dad works hard at work. Daddy always tells me to eat. It makes my dad happy when he plays with me. I f he could go on a trip he would go on a bike ride and he would take me. I really love it when my dad takes me to CiCi's If I could give my daddy anything it would be a Ford Platinum Edition (blue) My favorite thing about my Dad is he's smart. |
Ella was so excited to give George her gift as well. She always winds up giving him underwear for some reason and it has become a big joke. So when we went shopping she was dead set on getting him underwear.
She laughed so hard when he opened it. She thought it was so funny and she said, "I'm the underwear girl."

| My dad is 39 years old. He has gray hair and his eyes are brown. My dad likes to wear work clothes. He loves to eat steak (that's more like it) He's smart because he knows math (hahaha) My dad works hard at Walmart Daddy always tells me things It makes my dad happy when I hug him (very true) If he could go on a trip, he would go to Dallas and he would take a phone and a computer (he was on a work trip in Dallas when we did filled this out) I really love it when my dad tickles me If I could give my daddy anything it would be underwear (and she did!!!) My favorite thing about my dad is love |
George and Nicholas' relationship is a very special one. Nicholas looks up to George very much. He's continually trying to please his dad and make him proud. When George goes out of town Nicholas truly gets sad and misses him terribly. Even though that's a tad bit annoying (haha) it makes me realize how much he loves and needs his daddy.
Could this moment have been captured any better? Nicholas got him an outfit (which he opened on Friday) and also a Texas Rangers T-shirt.
