YOU, Daddy...

YOU introduced your newest princess to her big sister.

YOU experienced the zoo for Abigail's first time.

YOU have held your sweet Bethany tightly and felt her snuggly self grow to love you.

YOU have sat next to Abigail as she has learned to swing like a big girl.

YOU brought all 3 of your girls (mama too!) flowers on Valentines Day...

even tiny Bethany got a bouquet.

YOU have spent time showing and teaching Abigail about God and about worship.

YOU went on Abigail's first carrousel ride...and both of you had a blast.

YOU have welcomed your girls to "work" at your office with you.

YOU have slid down countless slides at a certain toddler's request (well, demand).

YOU have shared your "brown chair" with your girls...they love to recline like Daddy.

YOU have explained over and over what things are and what things mean to a very inquisitive 2 year old...and have been so patient doing so.

YOU have been patient as Bethany worked through her colicky stage...and as Mommy adjusted to life with two.

YOU have given countless Band-Aids to A to decorate her "booboos" with.

YOU only have to give a look to light up Bethany's face.

YOU always help with bathtime and bedtime, even after a very long day.

YOU have played "dinosaur" with Abigail on your back over and over.

YOU have become quite the ballerina as Abigail makes you dance for her almost every night.

YOU have prayed with both your girls and encouraged Abigail to pray on her own...

and now she follows your lead every night.

YOU have loved them well, Parker.

AND THEY LOVE YOU.

YOU are an amazing Daddy. I am seriously in awe of the blessings God has given us in our two precious, beautiful little girls.

And I am also in awe that He gave them such an amazing Daddy.

YOU will always hold an untouchable, prized spot in their hearts.

I am blessed to watch the mutual love and adoration you have for each other.

I am blessed that you are their father...and THEY are blessed that you are their Daddy.

Happy Daddy's Day.

we all love YOU.
