Daddies are the best, aren’t they? I mean, obviously, mommies are THE best, but daddies are just the best.
This is what happens while I do dishes, and I love listening to the happy sounds coming from the other room.
And this is what happens when all the toys are successfully put away and everyone’s ready for bed.
And this is what happens when it’s time for everyone to pick a song after dinner.
Although, to present a fair and balanced account…this also happens:
Me: Carl, I’m just going to lie down for 20 minutes.
Carl: What, and leave me with the baby?
Me: Yeeesss…..you don’t seem to be doing anything.
Carl: I’m golfing.
Gemma: Don’t worry, Mom. I can take him. I’ll take care of him for you.
I really can’t tell you enough how awesome this girl is :)
(And for the record, Carl did take over when Theo started to get restless. He’s still pretty great at this daddy thing.)

Sharon says
GREAT photos!!! THANKS SO much for sharing!!! I was just remembering the other day how much Carl has ALWAYS loved children. I remember when we were young how he was always into the babies etc! It was a GREAT memory, and it is also good to see that he is still GREAT with kids!!! I must say that my Luke is VERY much like him with kids and am praying that the picture that Carl paints will be my little man as well!!! By the way… you definitely made a tear (ok… maybe a couple!!) come to my eyes…. I think I just need to see you guys SOOOO bad!!! xoxox
Anna says
Aw, thanks for the comment Sharon! Yes, Carl is definitely the “kid person” in our relationship :) That’s so neat that you can already see that in Luke!
Sharon says
Luke is mildly OBSESSED with babies… each time he gets a “wish” – with dandilions, or wish chips, or ANYTHING… he wishes for a baby!!! OH boy! I have told him that when he is a daddy he can have a baby whenever he wants!!! ANYTIME there is a baby around… he HAS to go to it, have a cuddle and a kiss, and a hold! I have never seen someone so inlove with babies… besides Carl!!!!
Anna says
LOL, maybe it’s something to do with being the youngest, they feel they missed out :)
Kim says
Such cute pictures! They sure do love their daddy :)
