Daddy and Zachary - What a Pair!

I so often talk about my two favorite guys - my amazing husband, Len, and my incredible son, Zachary. I speak about how important they both are to me, and how much they completely fulfill me. A viewpoint I seldom reflect on in this blog is how much they mean to each other. Though I don't presume to know what it feels like for Len to be Zachary's Dad, I observe him in this role, and only hope to be just as an amazing parent as he already is. Fatherhood clearly suits him... he's a natural! Our son is one lucky little guy to have such a cool Daddy. Len is an amazing role model for our son - he's kind, generous, strong, stable, funny, loving, dedicated, committed, honest... I could go on with about 5 more pages from a thesaurus... so, you get my point. These are all qualities I hope Zachary inherits from his father! We know he's already gotten Len's good looks, too!!

I see how Zachary gazes into Len's eyes (even from his first days of life), interacts with him regularly (they love talking to one another), and smiles and giggles in absolute delight when they are hanging out. Zach LOVES his Daddy sooo much, and I just can't get enough of watching them together... they're like Frick and Frack, side-kicks, Daddy and Z!

That is why, on this first Father's Day for Len, I want to express how grateful I am not just for the gift we have in our son, but also for the partner I have in raising him - you, Len. You are such an amazing Father, and I love you even more with every new experience we have together! Happy First Father's Day!

Here are some of my favorite shots of Len and Zachary throughout the past 6 months... I'm posting them to commemorate Len as a Father, and the two of them as side-kicks made for one another!
