Anyone that knows my husband knows that he is a very involved father and husband. Like anyone else, he has his moments, but he is such a great help to me and the kids on a daily basis and we always know how loved we are. There is certainly no exception with the newest addition to our family, Miss Addie Grace. She has had her daddy's heart since he found out we were expecting a girl. When I was pregnant with the boys, he never cared about the furniture or decorations in the room...with her, he had a clear opinion on those things. He proudly tells everyone that HE chose her name (somewhat true) and has been very protective of anything related to her arrival.
The last 4-6 weeks have been very difficult for me with the loss of Tommy and the misery of the end of pregnancy. I have been (and still am at times) an emotional roller coaster. Chad has been my rock and such an amazing man through all of this. He never left my side during everything, even when he probably should have because I was unbearable to live with!!! I want my children to always know how much I love their daddy and what an amazing father he is. I know I don't tell him often enough how wonderful he is to us and he is usually the recipient of all my frustrations and stresses in the world, which is never fair.
The day Addie Grace was born he left the hospital for an hour or so and told me he had to go "pick something up". I thought he was going to go get me flowers, something he did with the delivery of the boys. I was wrong. He came back with two of the sweetest gifts. The first was a pearl cross necklace for Addie Grace. My heart melted. The second was a bezel diamond necklace for me. I haven't taken it off since and don't plan on it! It is a constant reminder to me of the love and devotion that he has for me and the kids.
I love you more each day. I am so grateful that God has allowed us to share these three amazing children. I look forward to a lifetime with you...

That sounds like the sweet little boy I grew up with...turns out he still is huh. Congratulation Lee. How blessed to have such a wonderful family...day to day life makes these things easy to forget. It's nice to be reminded.
Okay, Lee, that just made me tear up! :) How sweet! You have such a beautiful family.
Lee, that is so sweet. Of course, it made me cry, but everything makes me cry!! Tell Chad that I am proud of him and he better be glad that he is taking care of my oldest friend. I would hate to have to beat him up!! Love you all!!
