I absolutely cannot believe Monday ushers in the month of March. For goodness sakes, I just delivered another Christmas gift last week! My January was filled with waiting on the birth of our little blessing Micah David Haines. He made his appearance January 21st. I was so blessed to be able to share his first couple weeks of life with his Mommy, Daddy and big brother Gavin. I had a blast!
March 1st is important day for our family. We get to celebrate David's birthday on that special day. He has been the best husband, friend and father any of us could ask for. Not too long ago I told him that I could not think of a single dream he hasn't tried to fulfill for me. He's the best!
Micah and Jackson both carry David's or "Grand D's" name! I hope our children know what this honor means to their Dad. You see, David always wanted to be a Daddy. Several months ago we were discussing our life goals, accomplishments and dreams. David told me how blessed and fulfilled he was to be the Dad of Jeremy and Jordan. And what a Dad he was.... from the first moments of their lives until today he has been there. He was so much calmer than me, they both ran to him with their accidents and injuries. David was the "A" team for every science fair, invention convention and history project. He was there for baseball, basketball and football. He coached, corrected, encouraged and enjoyed every thing they did. He was there for the fun times and the hard lessons. He has never given up on knowing God would bless his boys.
David's legacy of loving his family continues on in our four grandchildren: Jackson David, Gavin Matthew, Jenna Claire and now Micah David. I hope they know who much they are loved and how lucky they are to have him for their Grand D! You are truly the best birthday presents he could ask for.
What about you? Who has planted dreams in your life and left a legacy for you to follow? Take the time to tell them so this week. If you cannot tell them, than thank God for the footsteps you have to follow.

There could never be a greater legacy of fatherly love other than that from God himself... Thank you Dad for all you will teach our children directly and through the loving fathers you have created. We love you!
What a sweet post! Tell David happy birthday for me.
I had a wonderful time in Houston at the Siesta SMT celebration! Wish you could have been there but what a blessing - another grandchild!
Love,

How wonderful for you two. Congratulations to the family! Tell David happy birthday for Glen and I.
We still talk about the fun times we have had with you guys. Some trips..trying to camp with a crying child. Thank goodness for David's sweet parents. But they grow up don't they, and we can only praise God when they carry on the legacy set before them. David you have done well in setting the legacy.
Love,
Brenda
Wow.....love the post!! What a sweet man you have!
I thought I would have an immediate answer to your question, but I don't. I think there have been so many that have influenced my life that narrowing it down to one would be difficult. Thank God for a Father that complete and whole in His very nature and can be our everything!!
Congratulations again!
