The view from my window

There is a moment in time when when your status changes to PARENT. But, as any a mom or dad can attest, the process of becoming a parent - a good parent - is an ongoing and neverending process. Wes is a great dad to our two girls, and I think he had one of those transforming moments a few weeks ago. It all started last summer, really, when Elise realized that a playset was something that she wanted in her backyard. When the opportunity came to make that happen, Wes dedicated a whole weekend toward making sure our new-to-us playset was a secure, safe, and fun place for the girls to play. He went above and beyond, building a clubhouse in the bottom, equipped with window. Wes isn't one of those guys who loves to do projects all weekend long, so for him to sacrifice an entire weekend to this, it really speaks very loudly about how much he loves his girls. He even used a saw, which he does not like to do after his near loss of finger to a saw in high school, and asked for a tool for Father's Day. I mean, who is this guy?! He's pretty awesome! So now, I get to enjoy this sweet view out the kitchen window.
