He:
- puts up with my crap--meaning my attitude, crabbiness, rude comments; etc.
- is an incredible dad. Truly.
- supports me 100%. When i decided to go back to work, he was there with me figuring out logistics. Definitely a team player and i couldn't do it without him
self-portrait from many moons agodoes the dishes almost every night is such a hard worker. At work, at home, wherever. Very strong work ethic. I hope that rubs off on our childrenhas a positive attitude (thus offsetting my negativity)tries really hard to get something else done while taking care of the boys--meaning, he tries to clean a bathroom or make a bed, tootells me he "doesn't know how I do it" when he takes care of the kids all daytruly appreciates me, warts and all (I guess that means he loves me unconditionally)doesn't mind (or let on if he does) that i rarely make dinner says, "I can make that!" in response to many of my "wants." And he can. He designed and built the window seat in our old house, in addition to the multitude of other fixes that house needed. So far in this house, he designed and built our built-in entertainment center. He has, no doubt, many other designs and plans swirling around in that noggin of his... who can find the baby keegen in this pic?is super-smart and always thinking about better ways to do things is the kind of dad who gets down on the floor and plays with the boys--trucks, trains, makes forts and tunnels, wrestles; etc.is a bit of a kid, himselfis a problem-solver still thinks to bring me flowers on occasionencourages me to take time for myself (i.e. girls' nights, a pedicure, a spin class; etc.). I think I need to take him up on that more often...makes a big deal out of birthdays, Christmas and Mother's Dayis easy on the eyesonly has eyes for meI guess I could keep this in my "drafts" and work on it for awhile. I could certainly think of many more reasons. But I think this is a good snapshot of Doug. You get the gist. I often wonder how I got so lucky?!

I spied Keegan!! Too funny!! What a great hubby! I am impressed by that built in and honestly that he sees the need to make beds!! (No one in my house, but me, sees the importance of bed making. :))
Hi Ashlee!
I loved this post! What a lucky woman you are.
I loved Keegan in the cubby! What fun picture!
I was just going to do one of these posts and I wondered if it would annoy people, but I really enjoyed reading this! Great post. Also, I did see Keegan before I even read to look for him! I guess I just think kids belong in small enclosed spaces.
That part about him making everything you dream of is amazing. Great post!
The world needs more of this. Counting blessings and loving each other will save the world.
