five on friday :: daddy love

i asked the kids to tell me five great things about their dad.  here's what we came up with.
1. he's smart
no seriously smart.  like history and geography and movie smart.  he knows the definition of any word we can think of.  he remembers things he learned about in 4th grade math.  he never had to study for a test and would still ace it. he remembers names and dates and where we were when he read something.  he calls it trivial, we think it's cool.
2. he's playful
not just because he plays halo or legos or baseball with the kids.  yes, the kids play halo, but that's another blog post.  but he is a playful person at heart. he likes to be a part of the fun.  he likes to get involved and get his hands dirty.  he likes having a good time.
3. he's funny
the first thing that i noticed about him was his sense of humor.  he makes voices when he reads books.  he thinks of great jokes. he finds humor in any situation, sometimes even the serious ones.  it is one of his greatest qualities.
4. he's generous
with his time, his patience, his love.  he always believes in giving a helping hand to someone in need.  whether he's giving blood or giving up his weekend to help a friend.  he is the most generous person i know.
5. he's kind
gentle, loving, and honest. he is compassionate, forgiving and understanding.  he is amazing.

and we are so lucky to get to be a part of his life.  happy father's bobby.

with all our love!
