Happy Fathers Day!

To all the amazing fathers in my life. For my Dad who is so kind, loving, and helpful and who adores my Mom. Who always lectures and never yells (even when I didn't see that big cement barrel while pulling out of the gas station in his car) and who always has treated me with respect. For waking me up with warm washcloths instead of bright lights and singing me to sleep with "Goodnight My Love" or sleep therapy. ("Think only of your feet. They have been moving all day and are getting heavier and heavier. Feel them sinking into the mattress deeper and deeper. Think of all the things your feet have done today and how tired they most certainly are. Now think only of your legs....") "The only thing better than having you for a father is my children having you for a grandfather"

For my Father-In-Law who is so supportive and interested in everything we do- even from the other side of the country. Who is tireless when it comes to playing board games over and over and over and over.... with my kids, and who will do anything to keep up with his kids (even if it means getting a few strains, bumps and bruises along the way.) Who raised an especially wonderful son.

And finally to the father of my children. I thank you for being with me on this amazing journey through parenthood. For always striving to be better, and do better for our family. Who loves our children fierecly and who finds his greatest happiness here at home with us. For being goofy and making us all laugh till we cry, and for being our kids greatest hero. (and mine.) I couldn't be more blessed.
