<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I especially love that I get to take them out for ice cream or to the beach whenever I want!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My husband was a stay-at-home dad for a while. He got a lot of flack for it, (from the ignorant local populace), but I'm so glad he was able to be with the kiddos. <br />Your kids will remember it. Enjoy your time with them. They grow up way too fast!
