Happy Father's Day

I just wanted to say a very Happy Father's Day to the 3 greatest dads in our life.

First, the kids and I want to wish Bobby a very happy belated Father's Day.  Unfortunately, everyone was very tired and ill last night when we got home from our trip so daddy didn't get a lot of celebrating this year.  Bobby, I just want to thank you for being a great daddy to our wild, sweet angels.  I know most of the time you see all 4 of us at our worst because everyone seems to be tired and grumpy by the time  you get home each evening.  I don't say it enough but I adore the fact that no matter how much more work you have to do when you get home each day you always make time to hug and kiss all the kids and ask them about their day.  You make it a point to get home every night in time for dinner.  Except for the times you are traveling, you help me to put the kids to bed every night. I remember calling you several nights when the boys were newborns to have you talk to them or sing to them to settle them down.  They just couldn't settle down for the night without Daddy.   I know that many nights after the kids are settled you stay up until 1 or  2 in the morning finishing work or "homework."  You are a wonderful daddy and we appreciate everything that you do for us.  Not to mention that all the kids would agree that Daddy is the most fun.  Mommy doesn't wrestle  or tickle or act quite as silly as Daddy  can!

Now, I want to wish my own daddy a Happy Father's Day!  Not only are you a great dad but a wonderful Pawpaw too.  I'm amazed at your endless patience with this wild bunch of kids.  You were even brave enough last week to have all 6 grandkids for 2 days.  They loved every minute of it!  It's so funny now when I think about all of the things you were so strict about when we were growing up and I find myself doing the same things with my own kids.  Back then I couldn 't understand  some of the weird "rules" you came up with.  Absolutely no tv during meal times, we all had dinner together every night no matter what, make up your own bed every day, pick up your stuff or I take it away, learn to entertain yourself because only "boring people get bored", etc.  It all makes sense now! haha! Thanks for everything Daddy!

We also want to wish Papa a very Happy Father's Day.  We will have to wait to see you when you get back but we hope you had a great day!  The boys have been talking nonstop about going fishing with Papa.  Thanks for everything you do for all of us and being such a great father, papa and father-in-law. 

We love our new swing!
