Today is a HUGE celebration in the Barlow Bunch...my 31st birthday & Papa's Day! As I woke up very early to Nolan's cries, Peyton's fast feet running down the hall, & to my husband being the first to say, "Happy Birthday," my heart was so full of happiness & fulfillment.
I try to be transparent in this blog, so I hope you know that we do not live a perfect life - we struggle with parenting, finances, jobs, weight/health, temper tantrums, family living hours away...but, this morning I feel my life is close to perfect...wow - how I am blessed. My husband is a wonderful father - he gives 110% everyday. Jonathan gets the boys ready every morning & takes them to the sitter. If we are honest, Jonathan is the disciplinarian in this household. He plays ball with the boys, changes dirty diapers, cooks for us (on Thursdays!), reads to them, bathes them (although he doesn't love it), & models the example of a Christian man. I am grateful to Jonathan for my boys, my blessings. What a wonderful gift it is to share this day with him. Thank you, Jonathan, for living life with me!
