My kids are so lucky to have David as a daddy.  He is a great dad, and this is one of the many reasons I wanted to marry him.  He loves kids and especially ours.  We try to be intentional about doing special things with our kids and they love "daddy time".  I will admit he sometimes teaches them things that make me scream later.  Like the time Brayden put his little friend Henry in an "arm bar".  That was thanks to ultimate fighting during daddy time.  I love that David will stop what he is doing if our kids ask him to play with them.  He is always up for a game of hide N seek, candyland, or even playing house.  He is has fun with them, is patient with them, and teaches them.  Patience are definately required when you have a two year old who likes to poop and take his diaper off.  It doesn’t end there.  He then rubs it in to the carpet.  This has happen more than once, and daddy cleans it up.  They love for daddy to tuck them in, read to them, and hear their prayers.   What a great dad! 

Not too long ago Laney, 3, had her first dance recital.  This was great fun for me.  I grew up at the dance studio and love just being at the theater.  I had my first recital when I was four.  We performed Mr. Bo jangles on a high school stage.  These days’ recitals are at the Gwinnett Civic Center with real dressing rooms, a huge stage, sets, and lights.  I remember being in the band room with the other dancer waiting to perform.  My love for being back stage lead me to sign up to be a back stage mom.  That was quite an experience, 50 girls under 8yr old in a room from 6:30-11:00pm.  They were not the only ones who were hungry and tired at the end of the day.  Little Laney made her debut and was quite a star.  She was very confident even though she was not always correct.  She really got the audience laughing.  What a cutie!
