Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Babe! I wanted to find a way to honor you and let you know what a great dad I think you are to our babies. So here are some of the things I think make you an extra special daddy.


1. You laugh at the kid's jokes even when they aren't funny.

2. You strive to make our daughter feel like a real princess.

3. You let Ben ride on the mower with you even though it would probably be faster and easier without him.

4. You can make even things that aren't fun like brushing teeth and going to bed an adventure.

5. You say I love you all the time.

6. The kids feel like they can talk to you because of your grace and kindness with them.

7. You always make sure to give them hugs and kisses before you leave each day.

8. You leave them little notes even though they can't read.

9. You give in to their silly wants like blue and pink cups after you have already poured milk in a red one, an entire glass of milk with cereal (which is totally unnecessary), sitting in the number two chair, or doing it over because that isn't the way Mommy does it (as Grace would say.)

10. You can be a kid with them and find the true joy in being a parent even though being a parent can be exhausting.

I see in you the heart of our Father, you have a deep desire to really know our kids, not just to raise them to be good people that make a difffernce in this world, but to really truly know them. To know their passions, their weaknesses, their loves, likes, and dislikes. To know their true heart and soul and to guide them and direct them according to that, not according to what job will make them most successful or what school will make them the smartest. I love the way that you love them. No we don't always get it perfect, shoot sometimes we can make a real mess of a situation, but I know and believe with my whole heart that our children know already at their young age and will grow to understand even more that their father loves them with the heart of the Father and that love will transcend all things both small and big. I love to watch you love our children and when I hear you call Ben "daddy's boy" or Grace your "little princess", or see you take the time to let Ben ride in the red car, or spend time with Grace when you are tired after a day's work just because she needs her dad I am so thankful that you are the father to our children. They are blessed to have you as their daddy and I am blessed to be your wife. Thank you for loving us the way only you can. You are our hero!

Love your Wife
