My Daddy is the Best!

Byron doesn't get to spend as much time with Elijah during the week as his heart desires. :( So when the weekend arrives, he makes sure to spend as much time with him as he can. Byron also has every other Friday off (when he isn't traveling) and this allows for an extra time he can have with his favorite guy. I love this time together as "father and son" because it strengthens their relationship and creates great memories that will last a lifetime for both of them.

This weekend was an extra special one for my two guys. Friday evening Elijah helped his Daddy prepare our dinner. He still is enjoying helping both of us out in the kitchen. Then Saturday morning they headed out to make bird houses followed by a trip to Lowes (this is a every weekend trip) and then they went to enjoy some yummy bagels. The following day was church and after church we had lunch with friends. Later, after a not-so-great nap, they headed to the river here in Sienna. It's a nice walk to it, the weather was great, and Elijah was in heaven the whole time. There were rocks and sticks everywhere. Byron said he believes he found everyone of them and even some tape. He he! He was so worn out from river romp with his Dad, he slept 13 hours last night.

Elijah is so blessed to have such an amazing Dad who loves him SO much! I have always said to my family and friends, that one (of many) of the hardest things about waiting/trying so long to have a child was knowing, with all my heart, that God put Byron here on Earth to be a Dad...among many other reasons. I am grateful, beyond words, that God answered our prayers and we are parents now!!

Sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to capture my thoughts for Elijah to have when he gets older. Also, thanks Byron for taking pictures for me.
