Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Happy Father’s Day

June15

Happy Father’s Day to the best father I know.  You are the best partner in parenting I could ever have hoped for – thank you for all you do.

You have patience in reserve when mine is exhausted.

You come home from a long day at work understanding that my day with a toddler has been long also.  You spend time playing with Sabrina.  Listening to the 2 of you laugh together is the best part of my day.

When you are home, you volunteer to change 95% of the diapers – especially the nasty ones.  I can’t express how much that is appreciated.

You never just assume that mommy will take care of things – you step up and do what needs to be done.

You never consider it babysitting if I leave you and Sabrina together for the evening.  It is part of being a dad and you love hanging out with your girl.

You worry about raising responsible, independent, smart, capable women.  You worry about helping them make good choices about education, careers, money, and men.  You think beyond getting them through the toddler years and see the big picture.

And the thing I am most amazed by?  That you don’t understand what all the fuss is about – why I thank you for all of these things.  You see them as what every man who is a father should do.  Thanks for being you, my love!  There is no one else I would want to take this crazy journey with.

    Michelle-

    I’ve been reading your blog for soooo long; like since you brought Princess Sabrina home.

    I’ve have never posted a comment before but I must tell you that I enjoy your blog. You always say the right things; the right way and at the right time; plus the pics are always great.

    I just had to post today and not only say “Happy Father’s Day” to your Wonderful husband but to tell you/him that many single women wish that they had someone that they could write something so beautiful too. I wish you guys many more fun filled years. Tell your husband that I he should write a book so that more married women with good husbands will remember the good things instead of focusing on the bad.

    Thanks for a GREAT post and enjoy your week!!!

    Sen 🙂

    What a good papa!
    -about the freezer. You could totally rock some casseroles in it while you get ready for the baby. That way you don’t have to worry about cooking for awhile after the baby is born!
