Since Raechal had such kind things to say about me in her last post, I wanted to thank her and let her and everyone know how wonderful she is! I could never do enough to show her how thankful I am for her and how awesome of a Mom she really is. You can tell by reading what she said about the kids in her last post how devoted and loving she is toward our family. I see this every day, and every day I am more amazed at what she does day in and day out for us all. Raechal never thinks of herself, always puts the kids' needs first, and never complains about it. I feel so lucky and blessed to have her as my wife, and the mother of our children.

Just this morning I had one of those moments, you know the kind - where in the middle of doing something else you just stop and out of the blue notice something about somebody. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful my wife is ... of course, I notice this all the time, but I don't know what it was about this moment in particular. She just struck me at that moment, and I just had to stop and think about how lucky I am and how much I love her. I love those moments where I am reminded of just how great of a woman she is. I love her so much, and I am so happy for the wonderful times we share together and as a family.

I will be sure to post more often ... I need to talk about Father and Sons Campout still, and I need to make a belated post about Father-Daughter campout so that my daughter does not feel left out anymore!
