House in Progress Diary

Who's Your Daddy?

I just wanted to take a moment and thank my lucky stars for the cool daddies in our families. 

Aaron and I are very appreciative of the guidance and help that both of our dads have offered over the years, most recently with the House In Progress.  Given the size of the project we're tackling, I really wouldn't have blamed either of them if they had changed their phone numbers the minute we closed on the property.  But they are good sports and handy as well.

 

(They seem to be especially good with doorjambs.) 

We've learned a lot about houses and renovation and building things and deconstructing things from our dads. 

And now that I watch Aaron, who is a new dad, and all that he does...juggling his demanding day job with working on the house, coding for HouseBlogs, keeping me laughing, helping with the chores, pushing himself to always be learning something new, and changing/rocking/playing with Grace...I feel incredibly, absolutely blessed.  Grace is going to have such awesome memories of her dad.

 

 

Happy Father's Day, Aaron.  You're the greatest.
