Father knows best




My husband became a father almost 4 years ago. I believe that was the scariest time in his adult life. He was worried, nervous, and thrilled at all times. I don't think he slept until Claire was at least 6 months old. She was precious and she was his new life. He began to see things in a different light. He changed. He softened. Watching him be a father to Claire was a joy.

When Ben entered the world, things this time around were much less scary. Another baby was great and a boy was wonderful. Now he had one of each. He took it in stride and enjoyed his new life with Ben and Claire. He changed. He softened more. Watching him be a father to Ben & Claire was amazing.

Sam came into the world at home and there was no fear. This was the third time and he felt relaxed. Another soul to nurture and another person that fit perfectly into the fold. His new life with 3 children delighted him even more. He changed. He softened even more. Watching him be a father to Sam, Ben, & Claire is my life.
