He's an All-Star Dad {Target Dove Men+Care Contest}

Twelve years ago Hubs became a daddy. He was amazing through my pregnancy. He was even more amazing during labor and delivery. He held my hand. He wiped my tears when I cried. He stayed by my side through it all. He never left the hospital while we were there.

I can still remember how proud he made my grandma during that hospital stay. She loved him so much. Until the day she died, she loved him. I think he solidified her love by changing Jake Austin's first diaper without even a second thought. She saw him lie that baby down and change that dirty diaper like it was his J O B. {Gah, I miss her so much.} She told me many times after that how proud she was of the daddy he is.

Since that first diaper, he's changed hundreds more. Each child born makes him a better daddy. A better man. Oh, and to McKinley, he's her Prince Charming. And she is his Princess. {a little girl's first love IS her daddy, after all.}
