Happy Birthday (88th) Grandpa. I love that my family was a part of your special day for the third year in a row.
Happy Father's Day Dad. I love you too! Thanks for always being there!

So why do we love our own Daddy so?
The words to tell a dad how special he is can be hard to find. Father's day is a beautiful reminder that we need to appreciate our fathers and express to them that we love them. I knew the moment I really fell in love with Jason that he would be an amazing dad. My children are so fortunate to be loved and adored by a man who has so many wonderful attributes.
He lays down clear rules and guidelines for his children's behavior; he praises them when they follow those rules, corrects them when they disregard them, and sticks to his guns even when it may be inconvenient (ya know....late in the evenings when you just want to end your day with a little peace and quiet and the temptation to give in to any demand is always present). He doesn't let his emotions get the better of him when dealing with his children; and always humbly admits it and apologizes when he does. He sets aside special "Daddy and Me" time for his kids, and frees up his wife so she can go get a pedicure or have quiet time to read or whatever she needs to sometimes keep her own sanity. He's not afraid to show emotion, or to be goofy and get down to his children's level during playtime. He doesn't talk down to his children or patronize them. He understands that his children will rise to his level of expectation for them. He takes equal responsibility for changing dirty diapers, giving them their baths, and reading to them at bedtime...among numerous other things most average dad's don't do.
He is.....an amazing dad to three amazing kids.
