To the best husband ever --
- the guy who sings Fly Eagles Fly with the children after every touchdown,
- encourages the kids to run drills in the yard and time each other as they race around the house,
- can nap at the drop of the hat,
- works out nearly every night to ensure that he is balanced and healthy,
- foregoes sleeping in on the weekend in favor of watching Voltron with the kiddos,
- listens to me chatter on endless about work and schoolwork, always offering wonderful insights, endless support, and thoughtful encouragement, and
- is the most contentious teacher I've ever encountered as he clocks an additional 15+ hours a week correcting student work, creating new material, lesson planning, writing newsletters and plays, and ensuring that all of his students are striving and thriving.
Simply put, we think he is the best!
Side story: Joshua's ice cream cake read "This is a Naked Mole Rat." It is half-eaten in these photos because we enjoyed it the day before his birthday with Scott.
Back story: When James was little, he wasn't able to keep a secret so we would give him a line to say when he wanted to give away information about a present. One year, Joshua told him to simply say, "We got you a naked mole rat." This phrase has stuck so, when I was ordering the cake from Dairy Queen, I had them write the odd phrase on the cake so that James's insistence that we got Joshua a naked mole rat would be accurate. Ha!
