There is this picture above my desk of DH and little E I just love looking at. To me it shows what a special relationship they have.  Of course I already loved him before E came along but seeing the way he is with our daughter has made me fall in love with him in a way I had never known before.

They have this special relationship.  Can you just see it in this picture?

The way her little hand is wrapped around his thumb.  The look of peace and content on her face.

I know I am in big trouble as she gets older, or actually he is in big trouble!  Honestly though nothing brings me greater joy than seeing those two together.  Even when she prefers him over me or runs to him crying in her dramatic way when I have dared tell her no.  Still I just stop and smile at the love they have for each other.  He is completely taken with her and her with him.

I hope that she always knows the love of her father in this way.  And that she measures all other relatioships by if they treat her half as good as her father does.  If she does I can tell you any boy who wants to date her will have some big shoes to fill!
