When I look at this picture I feel so blessed to have a husband who loves our kids the way he does. He inspires me to be a better mother every day. These moments are not rare around our house. We are a home that is full of love. We have agreed that it is a priority for us to tell our kids as many times a day as possible how much we love them. We hold hands, cuddle, hug, and kiss our kids a million times a day. Of course there are the moments when I wish I could go 5 minutes without someone sitting on my lap, hugging on me, or wanting me to carry them around - but in those moments I am reminded of the months when we longed for another child in our home to love on. Lincoln has told me time and time again that he will always make a special effort to tell and SHOW his kids how much he loves them by using their love language, whatever that turns out to be. If it's a hug and high five, great. It may be a special gift, a "great job!", or attendance at events. Whatever it is, we're committed to doing it! I think far too many men have a 'hang up' with expressing love for their children. I hope that this generation of boys will change that.

So sweet. I love seeing Matthew and my son, Jamie, Cuddled up together, too. It just melts my heart. There is nothing more endearing than seeing the man you love, loving your child.
