"Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad." -Proverb
I put the kids to bed last night (while David was playing some very deserved Father's Day golf) in their special "shout out" to Dad outfits...That way when we woke up this morning they were all ready for the big day! We had a great morning hanging out and eating breakfast together. Unfortunately, David had to squeeze in some yard work, so he took care of that and then off to Church he went with Elise (the new summer church schedule falls right in the middle of Lila and Bennett's nap) for some special Dad and daughter time.
I plan to cook his favorite dinner later today!
My children are very blessed because they have an incredible Dad. He works extra hard while NEVER complaining, and has even before they were born (when we only hoped we would be SO blessed), to enable me to stay home with the kids- something that was a priority for both of us. He never mentions all of the golf he never plays (yesterday was a rare occurrence), or the fact that he wears 10 year old suits (while our kids are dressed to a "t"), or the fact that he drives a 10 year old "mom" car that never has the right time on the clock! All he cares about is giving all he can, both tangibly and intangibly, to his family. Although he is often away at work, he makes the absolute best of the time he is home with the kids. From the moment he walks in the door he is "on". Elise asks for him all day long and her excitement is huge every single day when he gets home. He loves to take them places on his own and plays just like a little kid on the floor with them! As they grow I hope they will begin to realize just how lucky they are! They ALREADY love him so much- it is obvious!!
So, since they are unable to tell him on their own...
Happy Father's Day Dad!
We love you!
Elise, Lila and Bennett
