Bob

This is Bob…or, as my photographer friends have begun calling him–twitterlessbob…making banana pancakes on a snowy winter day. With our kids. He is an incredible dad. It is shocking really when I think back to the moment I told him we were going to be parents and how many concerns he had. He questioned if he would be any good at it. I just knew he would which is why I insisted he marry me. During his sabbatical(he had an 8 month leave from work recently so I could pursue my own career), so many other moms started telling me how lucky I was that I was worried he might get a swollen head.

I could minimize it and just say that it is because he is just naturally a BIG kid But, the truth is…it’s his natural curiosity. He HAS to know about everything. He can sit and listen to someone rattle on about any topic as long as they are knowledgable enough to answer all of his questions(I guarantee there will be questions). Being passionate also helps–although, I am not sure he would admit it. Jack has inherited that curiosity and the two of them are so meant for each other. Georgia, too…she is starting to ask questions and he will find the answers if he doesn’t already know them.

So, he makes pancakes almost every weekend. Sometimes they are flat with chocolate chips, blueberries or bananas. Often they are rolled up–dripping in butter and sugar just like his grandma and his mom used to make. The kids expect it…

I am pretty gosh darn lucky.

Oh! I was supposed to introduce you to him–engineer, dad, friend, husband. Loves to snowboard, mountain bike and hike–although, we don’t find as much time to do these things as we would like to. Conservation–of heat, energy, gas, oil…pretty much anything is also super duper important to him. He can talk about that…if he ever decides to blog. That’s Bob.
