thinking about men

At the young age of 3, Lacey has the great influence of several good men in her life already. They love, spoil, adore and spend time with her.

Daddy always comes 1st. He takes good care of her as a stay-at-home Dad. He is patient, loving and so sweet to her. He sits patiently at the tea parties and knows the Barbie's by name. He comforts and protects her like no other. She is Daddy's little girl!

Uncle Buckie. He shares yummy popsicles and watches Lacey and Justin play together. She likes to hang out at his house and is so happy he lives beside us now. She watches out the front windows and lets us know when he is home or riding his 4-wheeler. She hollers for him as soon as he opens that car door. He teaches her how to make funny faces and makes her laugh.

Papaw. She just loves her Papaw. He always takes the time to play cards, dinosaurs, shoot guns or whatever she desires. I think he adores her just the same. Papaw is like a special buddy to her that is always willing to play a game. He tells funny stories by using a great imagination and brings lots of smiles and giggles.

Grandpa. A little rough on the outside but she loves him anyways. He collects a stash of her favorite suckers just for her. And sometimes, he makes homemade candy for her. He comes over to visit, to a cook-out and birthday parties. Alot of people may think he's a gruff 'ole bear , but Lacey knows he is just a big 'ole soft teddy bear with a big heart.

Mikey. Her buddy. As soon as he hits the front door, Lacey is ready to play, and so is Mikey. I'm not sure how many people he would allow to use this nickname but she is special. He buys cool birthday and Christmas presents for a little girl. He reads her Bible storybook so sweetly while she sits quietly beside him. He's her first choice when she calls someone on her Mickey Mouse cell phone. He's always around, and that's just the way she likes it.

I could go on and on. Uncles, Pastor, friends, more grandpa's......she's so fortunate. I think these great men would do anything for this precious little girl.......and she knows it :)
