Happy Father's Day to the Best Daddy Out There

When I married you six years ago I knew you'd make a good daddy, but honestly had no idea the great daddy you'd be. I had no idea that sometimes watching you interact with our children would bring tears to my eyes.  

• You are the daddy that not only demonstrates how to use his hands to work hard by hammering nails into the wall, but also working hard in the kitchen by washing dishes or cooking meals for his family. 
• You are the daddy who pours his heart into everything he does, whether it's your job, your house projects, or most importantly, loving your family-you do it with your whole heart.
• You are the daddy who regularly invites others into our children's lives. It starts feeling strange in our house if more than 5 days have gone by without you inviting someone over. 
• You are the daddy who has a son whose first words out of his mouth when he gets up in the morning are "daddy downstairs reading Bible" because he sees you starting your day in the Word.
• You are the daddy whose heart broke when his baby girl was taken away last summer. I'll never forgot those tears that ran down your cheeks as you spent the last night with her. 
• You are the daddy whose jeans constantly have holes in the knees because of the hours you spend playing on the floor with our kids each day.
• You are the daddy the kids ask for all day long and run to the door with lots of screams of excitement when they see you arrive home.
• You are the daddy who brings the laughter and fun into our home. We'd be a pretty boring family without you!
• You are the daddy who has chosen to be a father to the fatherless. Your love for our soon to be adopted kids is no different than the love you have for our biological daughter.
• You are the daddy who is raising kids to be so much like you.  It's pretty crazy to me how much they adore the music and food you like AND how much all 3 of our kids act like you already. 

Our kids have no idea just how lucky they are to have you as their dad!
