First there is Daddy, who is the most involved dad I know. I can't imagine raising children with anyone else. Not only does he dole out the tough love when needed (and that's becoming more and more as we get closer to the big 2nd bday!), but he is also very loving and affectionate to these precious boys. Thank you, Daddy. You are the BEST!!
Not to mention you can kick some butt when needed.
Sharing a tender (or crunchy?) moment with Owen.
Two buddies taking a stroll.
Snuggle time! Sorry, Maverick...
Life is good.
Then there's Grandpa, or as originally named by the boys, "Pa." Before Mark and I announced that our world would be turned upside down with twins, Pa was the only one who made mention of grandkids. Not any overbearing pressure at all, but a few cute, sly, little comments (yes, Steve, I heard them!). It was quite obvious that he was yearning for grandbabies, and it still shows. He loves our little guys so much, and comes over with Grandma every Friday to help watch them. And boy do they love Pa! Thank you for being such a wonderful Grandpa, Steve!!
Pa helping Jack with a big boy drink.
Pa taking a good spraying like a champ!
Pa getting some sweet Jack smooches (O gave some too, but the photographer was not on her game, and came away with only one bad, blurry shot).
Pa fixing Owen's truck for him.
There is also Grandpa Bob, who unfortunately lives in Arizona. He doesn't get to see the boys as often as any of us would like, but does get to hang out with them a few times a year. He makes an effort squeeze us in for a visit whenever he can. Hopefully as the monkeys get older it will be easier to travel with them so that we can make our way out to AZ to visit Grandpa! Love you, Dad!
Grandpa helping Jack and Owen feed the ducks.
Grandpa sneaking a photo-op with the boys eating (one of the few moments they weren't cranky in Clear Lake =P).
Happy Belated Father's Day to all the daddies out there - I hope you had a great one!
