My husband is an old man. His name is Randy.

Randy just keeps getting older and older.

Despite that, I still love him. 

And so do our girls.  They love and adore him.  He loves and adores us.

They also love candy.  You can totally see that they expect to get some from him.

Here are some attempts at family pictures on Randy's birthday (May 7th- yes, I'm very late).  I noticed that  I always squint with my left eye in pictures.  At least these ones.  I've never noticed that before.

You get the point.  I think we gave up. 

Thank goodness Randy asks for ice cream cakes.  They're so easy.  

I have had a few thoughts lately.  I loved Randy before we got married and thought he'd be a good husband and father, but really I didn't know that he would be for sure. It is such a blessing that he is a good husband and father.  He is so good and patient with a house full of girls.  He really loves the kids and me, and I am so grateful for that.  He even lets them do things like this to him:

And this:

Seriously- that's patient.  =)

Some things I love about Randy: 1) He's a family man.  He doesn't feel like he has to go out with friends every night. He likes to be with us.  2) He's dang smart 3) He is a hard worker 4) He is passionate about things like stars and planets and bikes and computers and science... I'm sure there's more.  But when he's passionate about something he just soaks up all the info he can about it, and he gets so excited about these things.  It just amazes me with what he can do and remember when he's excited about something.

This is a typical morning of sending Randy off to school in the morning.  The girls' ritual with their Daddy.  

I love you Randy!
