Awesome-er than he knows.

He often says, "I couldn't do that! I don't have time, I don't know how, it's above my skill level."

Then a few _____ (insert period of time, minutes, hours, days) he'll come back.

"I think I figured out how to ______ (insert ominous project)..."

And he (almost) always has.

He is awesome-er than he knows.

But I know, and the kids know... 

and he is able to surprise himself over and over again with just how awesome he is.

(case in point: broken piece of plastic in the middle of the car... we can see it, we can touch it but we can't get it out... mechanic says $400... Cori says "I can't." Thinks on in a couple of days... $200 and a couple hours later the car is good as new. Just one small example of how awesome he is!)
