In My Fathers Eyes

🎨 @lemetierdebeaute (at CEB Waterview Conference Center)

Well, this dude had his first nasty bike fall today, complete with a jump, a flip, a mama thankful for his helmet, bandaids needed and ice cream requested! #happybirthday . . Technically his birthday is tomorrow (tonight at 12:30 am) but both now and 4 years ago, the celebration began today 🙊☺️😍 (at Georgetown Prep)

... and suddenly, you were my everything. ❤️ . . How has it been 4 years since my little man bumped his way onto the cover of @pnmag, just days before his arrival ❤️ thank you @mommapackard for the reminder 🙊😩😍😍 (at Atlanta, Georgia)

Morning, Beautiful (and handsome) humans! ❤️ needed to remind myself to stop dwelling on my past mistakes, failures and what I could have done differently and start utilizing my past for the lessons learned... rising to greater heights and a life more complete in Him! . Felt like someone else could you the reminder! Lifting you up in prayer. #goodmorning (at Cecil County, Maryland)

Dad, thanks for always being you... thanks for showing me how to stand strong, turn my face towards Gods grace, mercy and love, and count every day (and every MOMENT) as a blessing from Him.... and THANK YOU for being the best Papaw ever to my babies. You're our role model and our hero. We love you! #happyfathersday (at Church of the Redeemer)

Oso polita! ❤️ Whatchu know about this brown eyed, blonde haired babe right here... ?! 😍 . . 1. He loves getting his hair cut (and growing it long) 2. He's going to be 4 on the 22nd 3. The first time someone told him he was "looking sharp" he turned to us and said, "im not a shark!?" 4. He speaks 3 languages. (Basque, Spanish, English) 5. He's obsessed with tacos, Scooby snacks, piña, watermelon and dried mango 6. He detests avocado! 😱 7. He's obsessed with Babies, including his Bay. 8. He LOVES Jesus and won't hesitate to tell you, "i just need to go pray" & head to his room to lay on the bed & talk with God 😍❤️🙏 9. His favorite color is red. In fact, every Sunday I receive a picture from Sunday school that contains no other color, but red. 10. When we walk into restaurants he always asks for "sparkling water" 🙊😂😂🤣 11. If you ask him what color his eyes are, he'll tell you they're black. (Truth is, they almost are! 😍) 12. He loves his family fiercely! (No matter what, His Papaw and His Mimi never get a "time out" 13. He loves his skateboard, his bike, and the ocean 14. He loves to eat at the @tasteediner in bethesda bc he thinks the diner is where dinosaurs live 😂 15. If you "disobey" a rule, he will remind you that you "should have obeyed the first time" per his Pre-K3 teacher and God 16. He was on the cover of his first magazine @pnmag when I was 8 months pregnant with him in my belly) and he's been stealing hearts ever since! ❤️❤️❤️ 17. His favorite places to visit (in the world) are Mimi and Papaws house, Spain and China. 🤣 18. His favorite tv show is Paw Patrol and Blaze. 19. When you tell him it's time to go, and he has 5 minutes left, he will look at you and go, "No, 100 more minutes please!" 20. He believes all police cars are friends of his Papaw and should always be parked at @church_redeemer 😂🤣😂 21. His water skills are on point! Like his daddy, @tradewindssi @americanuniversity 22. He's a natural story teller, who loves to tell stories and have stories told to him. Every story begins,, "Once upon a time", will include a Big Bad Wolf who "huffs and puffs", an Aspen, and a Papaw who saves the day! 😂 (at Washington, District of Columbia)
