This One's For You, Dad.

I did a bad, bad thing. Saturday afternoon I was waiting for Beau to get home and I was getting Beau's Father's Day gifts ready. All the sudden it hit me, I hadn't done anything for my dad, not even a card. I had been a tad overwhelmed all week with Beau gone and had stressed about making sure I got him a gift, but had totally forgotten about my dad! By this time it was too late to do anything. I called him Sunday and apologized, but I have been so mad at myself for that. He gets one day a year and I blew it. So...this one's for you.



My dad is the biggest goof I know. He always takes "self portraits" on other people's cameras. Luckily this one is of his face and not his nipple like he usually does...



My dad is so loving. I've never known a dad that was so loving with his kids. When we were growing up it was almost annoying at times. But we always knew he loved us. This is Dad and Brooklyn a few years ago. I just love this picture...





I also love this picture...

I don't know what my mom would say, but to me, he is a great husband. My mom has a job she loves in Arlington and so she lives there during the week. My dad drives to see her every Thursday and either drives back Friday morning or stays to do things with her. I know he can't like shopping, but more importantly he loves my mom and wants to spend time with her.
He is so devoted. He was at all our games, competitions and programs.

He's the best "bull" ever...

He's always so willing to help with the kids. He makes it so easy on us when we visit. He's always willing to change diapers, cook, babysit and give baths...

He's the best teacher. He knows EVERYTHING! He's so wise and I know when I ask him a question I'm going to get a good answer. Just beware that his answers just keep going and going and going...

He is so selfless. Every time he comes to visit he always does something to help us out. From putting on a screen door to installing dimmers to pouring a concrete patio...

I love my dad so much. He is the greatest man I've ever known and I know if you've met him you would say the same. Beau reminds me so much of my dad. I'm sure that's a main reason I fell in love with Beau. My dad is the most loving, wise, selfless, giving, smartest (and I'm sure he would want me to say 'handsome') man I've ever known. I love you so much, Dad! Happy Father's Day!
