Happy birthday, anniversary, father's day...and any other significant day that we can fit into early summer...

So we have had a busy couple of months...who am I kidding?! We have had a busy 6 years.  J and I were married 6 years ago as of May 14th...For those of you keeping tabs on my life (all of you, I know), that was a day after we had baby #3.  And then May 16th marked J's birthday.  Both were overshadowed by the new life of our son...and a very overwhelmed and tired wife/mama.  But here we are on the eve of Father's Day and seeing that I am slowly emerging out of the fog of pregnancy (although very much in the fog of sleep deprivation), I want to give honor where honor is due.
Six years ago I married my sweet J.  This is us on our honeymoon.  Little did we know the adventure/roller coaster we had just signed ourselves up for...3 kids, 5 moves, 7 jobs (between the two of us) later, I can say with absolute certainty that I love him more now than I did then.  He has shown me love and patience, forgiveness and steadfastness.  We have fought and fought through it only to arrive on the other side.  I love watching him grow as a husband and father.  He has made me a better person.  I am so thankful that he is who I get to walk through life with...and oh so thankful for the 3 little people that are a little piece of him and a little piece of me.  My cup runneth over! So happy Father's Day. Happy Anniversary! And Happy Birthday!  Next year I hope to be a little more together...but I'm not keeping my finger's crossed.
This is J moments after the birth of #3.  Such a tender moment to witness.  I think I fell in love with him all over.
