Boys and Babies

We have some great guys in our family. I saw clear evidence of this last week while I was in Colorado. The kids made the most of the attention the uncles and daddies were willing to give, and those of us with the cameras did the same. Enjoy:

They look a little bit alike, don't they? We got this shot of Tommie and Truett hanging out at Chili's with Tommie's mom during her lunch break.

There is never an end to the request for Uncle Grant to "hold you?!" He almost always obliges, no matter the number of children...which of course, is why Grant is the dangerous/loving uncle. ;)

Uncle Mike is basically a second father to Liliana. Here she is in Idaho Springs with Mike and Aspen. We had just eaten lunch at our favorite pizza joint, Beau Jo's, and decided to snap some shots in front of the frozen waterfall/water wheel.

Here's to men who: aren't afraid to shoot guns, sleep in snow caves, look death and health in the eyes, rise to the occasion, pray for wisdom, pray for forgiveness, kiss their wives, plan dates, play airplane for way too long, befriend the friendless, cook, try new things, seek out adventure, hike an unmarked path, say bedtime prayers, tell bedtime stories, swim with babies, make family a priority, make God a priority and love life- all in front of the children who call them heroes.

Thanks for helping to make our vacation to Colorado amazing.
