Hold me

Jason was at the sink last night about to wash a BUCK LOAD of eggs, when Kaylyn came into the kitchen and asked him,"Daddy, will you hold me?"

That's code for "I'm sleepy".

"Sure. Come here," Jason replied.

And the rest is history.

I found them moments later nestled snuggly together on the couch. He, in his farm clothes and Wranglers and Kaylyn in her Beauty and the Beast nightgown.


Jason is an amazing man. He will drop nearly anything for his girls. I'm not kidding.

I had to call him today while he was out in the middle of the pasture to come fish out beef liver from my garbage disposal. Gag me with a spoon!

But, this isn't about me. Its about Jason......being amazing. I'm so thankful for every ounce of this man. The Lord is doing an amazing work in his life and I get to have front row seats.

Kaylyn will look back on these moments and be so grateful to have experienced this incredible love that only a father can bring to your life.

This was a moment worth capturing.

I want to remember when our babies were small enough to curl up on the couch and fall safely asleep in our arms in an instant.

I don't want to forget the way their freshly bathed hair smelled pressed up against my face.

I want to etch in my memory the scene of their faces peacefully asleep dreaming about princesses and ponies.

I want to wrap this moment up in a beautifully packaged present so that I can re-open it over and over again to appreciate the wonder of these moments.
