The Boston Bunch: We have Dad home all week

Brian has this week off so I thought I would put him to work while I typed a few blogs.

These pictures put into words my husbands love for his children. He has a great passion in fathering his children. Brian still gets up with Allyson every morning, pours her a glass of milk and reads Gods word with her. He is teaching her about creation right now. Allysons favorite part is in Genesis 1:3-5 when God says "let there be light". Brian starts with the lamp off and when he comes to verse 3 of the chapter Allyson turns on the light and says "now it is day daddy". She goes on to turn the light off and tell her daddy that it is dark and that means it is night. It has been a blessing to see her grow and learn each and everyday. I am amazed at what she is able to grasp even when we aren't teaching her.

I could go on and on about how great of a dad Brian is, but I need to share some updates on Blake. He is now 5 months and weighing about 18 lbs. He seems to be growing longer by the minute. I can't seem to find outfits long enough to fit his legs. He started rolling over about 2 weeks ago and only a week later started sitting up unassisted. He only lasts about 5 minutes before he plops to one side. It has been great comedy for Brian, Allyson, and I to watch. We just put him on the bed and wait for him to fall over. He sways back and forth and catches himself most of the time, but sooner or later he just falls straight over like a tree . I know it sounds cruel, but Blake loves it. He comes up laughing and full of smiles most of the time. Blake has made motherhood with 2 children much more enjoyable than what I had prepared myself for. We all have our days, but 95% of the time Blake is content and as happy as a baby can be. Let me just show you a few pictures we have taken lately. They pretty much explain the happiness I am talking about.
