Leggo my Daddy…

June 22, 2009 Lana

My hubby is a precious hubby and an admirable daddy. I dare say if you ever met him – you might not see what I see. He does not flaunt his goals, his strengths or his wisdom yet has all three. He is not vain or proud! That is what I love about him! He will work quietly behind the scenes and only step out if he truly sees a need. God works through him in so many ways including being one of the most loving and kind Dads I have ever met.

Side note: My husband is in no way perfect. He is human and makes mistakes. I tend to paint a picture of this make-believe, too good to be true, husband on my blog. Although, I probably won’t blog about our fights “discussions”, we do have our moments but they will always turn to good or we will not go to bed at night. I just wanted to clear up that I’m not living in a fantasy world but we are for real.

So, when the man has asked for a waffle-maker for a present for many years now, don’t you think I would have done it? The answer is no! Why, you may ask? Because I’m selfish. I don’t want another appliance in my kitchen. I’m trying my best to purge and simplify.

But – I have noticed something this Father’s Day. My husband did not ask for anything particular this year. Well, he got a trailer to take on trips for my shopping excursions and all the luggage but that was a bargain to good to pass up. It really wasn’t intended to bless him for a Father’s Day gift. He really didn’t think or expect anything – yet we surprised him.Waffle guy
Last Wednesday, there was a sale going on. So, in the 177.9 degree weather, one mommy, 4 kids, and 1 child who needed a nap desperately, ventured out to the sale with a coupon in hand. Have I ever mentioned how I despise the HOT weather?Mean Waffle Making Machine

My hubby scored 3 beautiful shirts and one Cuisinart WMR-CA Round Classic Waffle Maker. Now we have a new Sunday night tradition, Waffles.

I’m not sure how long this will last but rest assured – he is a mean waffle making machine!

Blessings to you – You are loved!
