HAPPY FATHERS DAY


Note: I had a picture of Ryan's dad but for some reason it won't let me download it!! :(
This weekend was a bit busy so I haven't gotten a chance to thank my dad, husband, and father in-law for being great dads!

I won't go on and on I just wanted to say how grateful I am for a husband who has more than provided for our little family. I have never felt like he wouldn't be there for us when we need him most. He works extremely hard and travels a lot but when he's home we get the most of him, even if we have to all stand around and watch him mess with his garden boxes or play his drums in the basement!! hehehe j/k I feel so blessed to have a true companion and best friend in Ryan. I love him so much. I don't think people understand how much I love him and need him and always love being around him!

My old dad!! He's not old but it's a family nickname that we call him Old Dudie. My dad... What do I say about him. Like Ryan and most men I know he has always provided for my siblings and I. No dad isn't perfect but my dad tried and I love him despite his imperfections. I love to see him with my kids and it warms my heart and brings a tear to my eyes to see how much Reese adores him. Reese always says, "I have a big Papa noggin!" it's a great source of pride for Reese to be just like his Papa. I love my dad and hope that he knows how much we love him and how much my kids love him to pieces.

Dad Newcomer-you've always been so sweet to me. I feel so blessed that I have a father in-law that is such a sweet person. He does things for people and NEVER complains. I watched him this last weekend while we were in Evanston and he is so sweet to Grandma Sprague. He helped her and chatted with her and even watched a show with her in her room. It was just so cute to see him doing those things. He works so hard and does work he doesn't necessarily love but he does it cause he's such a good person and a good provider. I know Ryan is the type of father because of the way his father was with him.

I love each of these men that are in my life and feel blessed to be surrounded by them! So Happy Belated Father's Day!

Thanks, Ellisa. I was blessed with a great dad, too and I think dad's try to make their family better than the one they came from. We enjoyed all of you and loved working in the kitchen a little while you made wonderful meals. You and Ryan make such a fun couple and we love your kids.
