Better late than never - Happy Birthday Dad!



(I'll add birthday pictures to this post)

Scott turned 30 on November 10th. I was sick that day, but we had a great celebration that night with his family. Nana and Pops drove over for dinner at our house.
Sam and I set up streamers and a Happy Birthday sign. I think Sam may have thought that it was HIS birthday!!!
I love my husband so much. We have been through a lot in our 4 years of marriage - and almost two kids later I wouldn't want to walk this road with anyone else. Here's a short list of why we think he's super...

1) He puts his family first. This is REALLY easy to say and REALLY hard to do. Scott not only tells us that we are his priorty, but he shows us with his actions. He's given up nights when he wanted to do his own thing to be there for us.
2) He is a hard worker. He's up early and many times he works late. He provides for our needs.
3) He actively loves us. He tells his huge pregnant wife that she's pretty and he showers Sam with kisses and tells him that he loves him. He makes us feel special.
4) He helps clean the kitchen.
5) He loves old gospel music.

When I married Scott I knew that he was a good man. In the last 4 years, I've watched him turn into an able businessman, a great father and husband, and a best friend. He leads our family with a quiet strength that leaves us feeling safe and secure. He calls me out on my own areas of weakness with gentleness and respect. He listen to my counsel, but makes his own decisions. He is firm, but gentle when he parents Samuel.

Happy Birthday Dad! We love you!

Momma and Sam

What a lucky woman you are dear friend! I'm sure Scott knows he is equally lucky! I'm still hoping I'll get to meet him someday and I'd love to witness Jenny the Mommy in action!
