Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Father's Day is a day to celebrate the bond between father's and their children. Father or "Da Da" in our house means lots of things. It means being patient, self-less, dedicated and hard working. It also means, the tickle monster, driving 1.5 hours to work (one way), teaching Barnes to swim, big bear hugs and eating steak (Barnes' new favorite food)!

Not only is Da Da a great father and provider, he is a great example of what a husband/human being should be. I am thankful that Barnes will have someone to model after.

Here are a few great quotes about Dads:

"My father didn't tell me how to live, he lived and let me watch him do it." ~Clarence B. Kelland

"Blessed indeed is the man who hears a gentle voice calling him father." ~Lydia M. Child, author of Philothia: A Romance, 1836

"A father carries pictures where his money used to be!" ~Unknown
