Reason 4,327


The 4,327th reason I love my husband . . .










He'll spend hours building a snow fort with the girls.

So I don't have to.

  10. that is so awesome!

    I can't show this to my husband though -- he already wishes we lived in the snow... this will make him way too envious (because I have a feeling those smiles he's sporting aren't forced). ;)

  11. um, yeah. and he's a freaking GENIUS! okay, i have lived in snow ALL my life... feet and feet worth of snow every winter... and it has never occurred to me or anyone around me to use a cooler to make huge snow blocks.

    dude, TOTAL genius. and you can tell him i said it.

  31. Does that man have green eyes too? What a keeper :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. What an amazing dad; and because he takes such time with his girls while they're young, they'll take time with him when he is old. Such a man for a father (and husband!)is a real treasure, indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh, those "keepers" are the best. I know. I have one too :) We are lucky.

    Great pics as usual, Dana!
