as Zoe dreams of President Obama.
A Father's Love

I often tease Welsey these days that I am neglected. I tell him that someone else has stolen his heart, and I am second best. In truth though, I am so grateful to have such a loving father for my children. Wes is absolutely amazing with Zoe. He is so patient, creative, engaging, and kind. He inspires me to become a better mother. Almost every night Zoe will go and find her fancy foot lotion, carry it out to her dad, and point to her toes. He gladly picks her up, strips off her socks & shoes, and gives her a lovely 20 minute foot massage! She has become quite a daddy's girl lately. She often points to her forehead to make the ASL sign for daddy and wants to know where he is and when he is coming back. When Wes leaves for work in the morning she often stands at the front door and cries for several minutes. Their love is pure, unconditional, inspirational, and eternal. It's awesome to witness....

...and I don't mind at all taking a back seat to a love like that! :)
