After the announcement that we’d be welcoming our third daughter into our family, Jack received his fair share of playful taunts and jabs about being surrounded by so many women. It’s true he’s severely outnumbered–even fifteen of the eighteen farm animals on our property are female and the remaining males are either castrated or slightly effeminate, like Monty, the momma rooster.
Still, being overcome with girls doesn’t bother Jack. He makes the best of the situation and loves his daughters as much as he would a son. He gives frequent pony rides . . .

. . . spends hours playing outside . . .
. . . teaches them the value of hard work . . .
. . . and that hard work can be fun . . .

I don’t think there’s anything he wouldn’t do for his girls.

What a sweet love story Rachael!
He was surrounded by girls growing up so he knows the drill. He is a great guy.
that's what I was going to say ;o) He should be used to being out-numbered by girls. -cecilia
