Having Natanel as the father of my baby is honestly the most amazing part of this whole parenting experience so far. He is what brings me such joy. Zion is 5 1/2 months old now, and a ton of fun, but in the begining, when I was sleep deprived, hormonal, and didn't know what else to do with my screaming baby, it was Natanel that made the smile return to my face. Seeing him fall in love with the tiny new baby in our bed was magical. Zion was the first diaper he ever changed, the first finger nails he ever clipped, the first baby he ever actually wanted to hold or swaddle. His insticts were strong and right on. I so needed him. And to have a partner, a friend who genuinely desired to be there with me thru it all was the greatest gift. He is the best papa in the world. I couldn't imagine going thru this experience with anyone else. And I have committed to put him first as my husband, to care for his needs before our children (in general, yet with exceptions of course) because it is the love in our relationship that created the offspring in the first place! I choose to foster our love first because one day our son will be all grown up and he will leave us to make a life of his own and Natanel and I will still be together, as the Lord is willing. I believe I have such a treasure...I am experiencing a heavenly marriage, a tangible example of the way God loves us, His bride. I am truly blessed by my guys.

What a magnificent creation, and I'm not talking about the blog! Of course, the blog is awesome too. It's a wonderful way for your Califonia relatives to see the growth and progree of their favorite Washington nephew.
I love him and I love you.

Did you say your "favorite men in your life"? Excuse me, but didn't you forget a few, namely two?
