happy father's day

nothing says "happy father's day" like a new wheelbarrow

Happy (first!) Father's Day to my man. I am so blessed to be your wife and help mate. Thank you for you cleaning up the kitchen after I go to bed. Thank you for loving things like house projects, mowing the lawn, and shoveling snow. Thank you for appreciating my family as much as I do. Thank you for praying for me. And like I've said before, I'm so excited to begin this new chapter of parenthood with you. I know it will be tough at times and we'll feel like we have no idea what we're doing, but we'll learn and grow together. I love you.

And happy Father's Day to my dad, the man who set the bar high as far as fathers go. I'm very blessed to have a dad like you - someone strong and encouraging and loving and not afraid to call me up just to check in. I love you.

to my dad

Today is my dad's birthday, and I know he has had a long day of flying all over the country today so he deserves a shout-out on the blog. And probably a piece of cake.

Happy birthday, Dad! There's a lot that I could tell you on this milestone of a day, but I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm so proud to have you as my dad - just like I was the day you walked me down the aisle. You make me feel safe, you challenge me, and you make good coffee. Thank you for being a stand-out example of a father, husband, and son. That's not an easy thing to come by these days. I love you a lot.
