Our Rock

I'm 23 weeks pregnant with twins today, Father's Day. This will bring us from 4 kiddos to 6. I still feel like there are times when we just sit in disbelief that this is our reality. Twins? Us?! Seriously?!? Now?!?!

Then, the next minute I find myself so beyond thankful for this unexpected blessing. Just because life is taking a turn we didn't plan or or expect, doesn't make it the wrong direction or a bad road to travel. 

But I know one thing for sure. I wouldn't want anyone in the drivers seat, leading the way than my husband, Ethan. He is, and has been the best leader I could have prayed for. And for him to continue driving so strong in a year that has been so challenging says more about his perseverance, character, and faith than anything else could. 

He's our rock. 

He has somehow found that wonderful balance between provider and involved father. 

He does the first day of school drop off and pictures. Every Year.

He plays catch and pitches balls to little batters. 

He helps pick out birthday and Christmas presents. 

He does the weekly grocery shopping, AND takes the boys with him!

He works long hours to provide me the opportunity to become a stay home mom while the twins are little.

He reminds me when bills need to go in the mail. 

He keeps tabs on our debt, credit scores, and safety. 

He suggests pizza nights when I'm too tired to cook. 

He makes sure the kids help clean up the kitchen. 

He sets up the projector and pops the popcorn for movie nights. 

He wears a tie to Mass every Sunday and pokes and prods kids to remind them to sit, stand, kneel, or sing. 

He loves a good date night with a bourbon or beer flight and spending hours and miles on the pavement on his bike.

He's not perfect, non of us are. But I am so thankful that he is the perfect one to fill the role of husband and father of our Weber Haus. I mean...there's not many father's out there that are so good at their "dad job" that they get promoted from "father of four" to "father of six" in one shot. You gotta be good at your job for a promotion like that! :)
