Daddy of the year



About two months ago I became a Pampered Chef Consultant. After some prayer I decided that it would be a great way to contribute financially to our family and I thought it could be fun to own my own business. It has been great so far. One thing that goes along with that is heading out in the evenings for the shows. Kevin has been nothing but encouraging all along the way, even though it means more work for him one or two nights a week.

October has been a particularly busy month. Not only am I busy with Pampered Chef I am also on our Nursery Committee at church and we are in the process of moving into new facilities, I'm also on the board for my MOMS club which means extra meetings, and I had 2 fun social things on weekends this month. So, Kevin has been 100% in charge almost every weekend this month. And, he did it all without complaining.
No matter what kind of day he's had Kevin always comes home ready to play with the kids. He gets tackled by Ethan for at least a half hour every day when he gets home. Ethan and Morgan's faces just light up as soon as daddy walks through the door. He patiently listens to Ethan's day and answers a bazillion questions between dinner and bedtime. Speaking of bedtime, Kevin always bathes and puts Ethan to bed. It's been their special bonding time for a long time now. I know he treasures that time with Ethan.



Even girls can play football! "Look I'm standing all by myself, I may even walk someday!" Note Ethan in the background and you can only guess what happened next.



Funny faces with Daddy!

Congratulations on your new pampered chef adventure! I just had a party, and I LOVE their stuff! It's a fun way to make some extra money.

I have no doubt that Kevin is a great dad. But don't sell yourself short. When you guys choose for him to coach or to be a deacon or something, you are the one at home alone many nights by yourself. It all evens out in the end. We just help each other at each step.
