Happy Father's Day (Belated)


Father's Day has come and gone, and we celebrated in style.  We have a lot to be thankful for and celebrate when Father's Day rolls around each year.  Our little family is so grateful for our wonderful Daddy!  I knew I loved him as a husband, but there's nothing like seeing the man you love become a Dad.  It makes my heart glad to see they way he interacts with the boys, making Evan giggle, holding Ben gently and rocking him to sleep in the rocking chair (in the middle of the night), or just changing a diaper or managing bath time.  He's the best partner in crime any mom could ask for.

Our little family is equally grateful to have such great fathers in our family that have served as role models and support.  On Father's Day we treasure our grandfather still with us and remember those that are no longer with us. We also thank our own fathers who are still there to support us.  We were lucky enough to have them raise us and now we have the pleasure to watch them become grandpas.  It's great to see them goof off with their grandsons and spoil them rotten. 

So, we are lucky, lucky people and definitely had reason to celebrate.  On Father's Day we focused on what the Daddy in our family wanted to do.  There was a lot of relaxing, a little cooking, some swimming at the pool, and an evening excursion to listen to music on the lawn downtown.  What a great way to celebrate a truly awesome dad!

Ian, you are one great dad - half of an invincible team! The result - two adorable children. Keep on doing what you are doing. It seems to be working. Love, Jeanne
P. S. Just keep telling yourself (in the middle of the night) "they are worth it, they are worth it. . ." They are!

You're right, Ian is a fantastic Dad and you are a fabulous Mom! It is not surprising that you have the 2 most wonderful children in the world! Ooops, I mean 3 (counting the furry one). We can't wait to see that smile, too! Love, Gram
