The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Fathers Day · June 16, 2017

To My Husband on Father’s Day + Gift Guide

To think back 14 years ago to when I first met you, I never would have thought I would look at you the way I do today.

I remember so vividly our years dating, and even more so I remember the night you proposed to me. It was magical, and I can relive that moment in my head many times over. The day we said I do was everything I wished for and more–you were finally mine forever. 
A year and two months later we welcomed our sweet Bennett. I watched you as tears welled up in your eyes. This moment I will never forget.

Both of our worlds were changed, for the better. We became parents together. We took each day as it came, and learned the ropes of welcoming a sweet little person into our lives. I was blessed with being able to stay home with him, while you worked hard to provide for us. When you worked away for a few months, I loved seeing you light up when you saw Bennet step off the plane. 

Then we welcomed Carson. This boy seriously loves you. His face beams when he sees you, and his excitement when you pick him up is out of this world. He is your mini me, and I can’t wait for him to walk in your foot steps.

You have sacrificed so much for us without complaints, and for that I am thankful. You gave up working late nights on your cars, for going to bed early. You gave up weekly softball tournaments, to spend it with your little guys. 
The days are long, but the years are short. You really take this phrase and run with it. The time you spend with your boys is meaningful–you aren’t just present when they are playing with you, you engage with them. 
I don’t think we tell you enough Nicolas–they love you. I love you. On Father’s Day we celebrate you.

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙
