The thing about your Dad that is so great though...
No matter what we have gone through, or are going through.
I want him there.
Even when I have been mad at him, I wanted him there.
He is my magnet.
For whatever reason, I have been drawn to your Dad now for 16 years and to be honest...
I am so glad life worked out the way it did! I love your Dad more now, than ever! That has a lot to do with what a wonderful Daddy he is, and also what a fun partner he is.
These next few days bring Father's Day and our anniversary. The days that I get to share how much I love your Dad as my partner in life and as your Daddy.
We celebrate this man for so many reasons, but here are a few of our favorites:
He cried like a baby when we heard Ava and Ella's heartbeats for the first time.
He sat outside the woman's bathroom at a CVS waiting to find out if I was pregnant again. Instead of fear-he was giddy with joy!
Your Dad is a super hard worker! Currently he is working full time, going to school part time for his 2nd degree, plays/coaches a softball team, and maintains a happy family life!
No matter what I ask your Dad to do, he always says yes.
Hang curtains today- yes! Do the late night feeding tonight- yes! Stay in bed with me instead of going down to play video games- yes!
He gives really great hugs.
He is the best booboo fixer/ splinter surgeon that we know!
So far in your lives, he has swooped two of you up and rushed you to the ER like a superhero.

He is always warm.
He watches all the "Girly" things we want to watch without any complaining.
He doesn't count the amount of Amazon Prime boxes that come.
He smells like a million bucks. (most of the time! :))
He slept on your floor holding your hands when you've been sick.

He talked me through 2 c-sections like a champ!
He seems to always do the right things-
Plans fun outings for us. Send me flowers on special occasions.
He ALWAYS gets a card even though they cost an arm and a leg.
He always drives--this is best for everyone! ;-)
He is the truest definition of a partner that there is. He is always there without fail.
And most importantly...
He loves us, even when we are hard to love. For the most part your Dad has been blessed with the laid back vibes of a hippie. He can handle us at any level and we should be so thankful for that!
Each of you have your own special relationship with your Dad. Ava you and your Dad are the roughest, toughest, wrestlers around! You are the first every morning to ask, "Where is Daddy?".
Sweet Ella girl, you have been a Daddy's girl since forever. You snuggle up next to him every night without fail. You, sweet lady, have your Daddy's extroverted personality and we just love it.
Sweet baby Jack, the more that you grow the more you are a spitting image of your Dad. He knows exactly how to get the biggest grins out of you too!
We have been blessed with the best Daddy and partner around. I can't wait to watch your relationships grow with your Dad as you grow! All relationships take work, even one with your own Dad! Take the time. Tell him how you feel, be honest with him. Have fun with him, don't forget your silly sides. But most importantly, remember that he was once someone who made you feel, "home".
I hope as you grow and find relationships of your own, you think about all of the wonderful that your Dad is. I hope you think about how he treated me, how he treated all people, and how he treated you. I hope that one day you will model your own behaviors after your Dad. I hope that one day you will meet someone who will make you feel the way your Dad makes me feel. And last of all I hope that one day you will find a partner that makes you feel, home!
The man we love so much is made up of so many wonderful things but, the most important thing is his heart! Thank your Dad today! :-*
All my love,
Mom
