We celebrated David turning 45 on Friday (1/15/21). It is incredible to watch how much our boys adore their dad. He is their hero, best friend, teacher and greatest cheerleader. So, celebrating him was so exciting for them. When I asked Mason what he wanted to give David as a gift, without hesitation, he replied, "I want to wrap up myself because Dad always says I'm his greatest gift." How special that a sweet little 4 year old boy knows that his dad loves him that much. So, I wrapped up Mason and Jonas so that David could open them first. We are blessed to have David in our lives. Our entire house is blessed by the person that he strives to become each day. He is patient with me and always encouraging me to grow. His ability to connect and teach our boys in deep, yet understandable ways for their young minds is truly a gift. There are things that I did not fully understand or appreciate, especially in relationship to the gospel that he will teach and it becomes clear to me. I'm not sure how he does it, but there is always time carved out to be present. And I mean really present. I feel like I am constantly think of the next little task I need to do and I know David has a million next little tasks, but you don't feel that when are playing as a family. We love you Dad!
