Happy Father's Day

A well deserved rest!

Happy Father's Day Dave!

Poor David, after a week away our lawn looked like a jungle. He spent the better part of today mowing the grass. It wouldn't have been so bad if the self-propelled part of the lawn mower had not broken right before we went to Disney! So, in the horrible heat, Dave was pushing the lawn mower!

We spent some time at the pool but really did not do anything. After a week away we decided that our trip was a celebration of not only Sarah's birthday but our 12th wedding anniversary (can you believe it????) and Father's Day!.

Dave is such a wonderful father. Sometimes he is out of his element with the girls, especially our preteen Sarah, but he makes up for it in so many other ways. The girls have a great relationship with him. They each share something special with him that will carry on through their lives. He and Sarah share a love for learning and discuss, research and learn about so many things together! Dave helps Gracie train for her gymnastics and she loves showing him all of the new things she has learned. And then, of course, there is Analiese! From the beginning she was the "one" who loved her Daddy the most. They have a special bond and she will always be "Daddy's little girl".

I am so proud of David and the father that he is to our girls. He doesn't hesitate to get involved in dance with Sarah or gymnastics with Grace, he loves, just loves to teach Analiese new things and of course he is the one to go on all of the roller coaster rides that Mom is petrified to ride!

One day the girls will understand and appreciate the father that Dave is. Just as I have about my own father. I have THE BEST Dad in the whole world! He and my Mom separated and divorced when I was very young. But, he was ALWAYS a big part of my life. He took the time to come and watch me in sports, he hardly ever had any free time as he spent almost EVERY weekend with me and my sister. I have such great memories of summer vacations that we took and weekends spent camping.

My father has been instrumental in encouraging me and always telling me I could be anything I wanted to be. Now that I am older he has supported me through so many situations. He is always there to lend a hand, an ear or whatever I need.

I love you Dad and you've more than made up for the dime and the fire engine, many times over!
