Becoming Soft Around The Edges

Why does it melt my heart to see a man with a baby?

Lets just say that the two most important and special men in my life (yes, my Dad and "Charleston") are your typical "man's man". They like to dress in camo, sit in the woods, and shoot everything that moves. They both drive Tacoma's and their version of TLC is the Versus channel. Their hands are always dirty because 99% of the time, they do things themselves. They are "steak and potato" men.

But...

ever since Olivia was born, something has changed.

They do things like this:

instead of sitting in the recliner watching an Iowa buck get smoked with a Matthews bow. (I have learned something in my 26 years of this exposure!)

"Charleston" putting Olivia in her supermodel pose!

"Charleston" giving Olivia a flying ride!

Practicing his baby talk. (I wish I knew what she was thinking right here!)
Too cute.

My dad still can't escape the fact that he is becoming even more surrounded by women. But...something tells me he doesn't seem to mind :)
