Derek is a faithful Christian. He's a loving father. He's an amazing husband. He's incredibly intelligent, and sort of goofy. (Most people don't get his incredibly dry sense of humor- but it cracks me up!)
Stay-at-home Dad doesn't really describe him because they rarely stay home. He prefers "recovering engineer." When Nate was born, Derek & I started feeling the pressure of having two careers and two kids. Because of the age span, they needed different child care- so I'd take Kaylee to school and pick her up and he'd take Nate to day care and pick him up, then we'd meet back at the house around 6:45pm and decide where to go out to dinner because we were both too tired to cook. It got old fast. Real fast. Like a month into the deal Derek said "This is crazy! One of us should stay home and raise these kids." And I said "Be my guest."
He took the challenge and in his usual way has gone beyond anyone's expectations. A year and a half into being home, we decided to start homeschooling. Then if that wasn't enough to keep him busy, he convinced me to have another baby!
I'm so thankful for Derek. Not many guys could do what Derek does and I'm incredibly blessed to have him as my husband and partner.
