Father's Day Is Every Day!

First and foremost, we want to thank every person who took the time to submit photographs for this contest. We are truly honored that you have shared your family moments with us. Over the past few weeks we have been blessed with seeing pictures and hearing stories of many dads who have made parenthood look easy, and fun! Seeing parents take such a joyful approach to raising their children is amazing!

Meet Marc. His pictures were submitted by his wife Aja, and she had so many wonderful things to say about him. He is pictured here with their 19 month old son. Aja says,

"Marc is the most patient person that I know. Like most dads, I think it took for him to see a big baby belly and then to actually see his son for the first time to blossom into a father.
They are inseparable. "

The bond between father (or father figure) and child is strong, and in Marc's case, it looks like he is loving his role in his son's life! Aja goes on to tell us how Marc supported her during their son's first weeks of life.

"In the first weeks of parenthood, Marc is the reason
we were able to initiate and stick with breastfeeding.
He was able to take a month off from work and waited on me hand and foot so that I could focus on our son. He was attentive when meeting with lactation consultants, recorded feedings, and researched sleep tips. This has only grown stronger.
As we are now well into our toddler days and expecting number 2 this fall, I've seen an amazing amount of patience in dealing with our lively 19 month old. I'm honored to have him
as my loving husband and partner on this wacky journey."

Congratulations Marc and Aja on your pregnancy!
This was an awesome story to hear, and we look forward to hearing many more,
both from Aja as well as our other readers around the world! Happy Father's Day Marc,
and all the father figures out there!
