Happy Father's Day!!

What a great gift I have.  I am thankful for the influence of fathers in my life.  It starts with my own father.  I have the best dad. The best.  He is fun & always wants us to be happy, provided for, & enjoy life.  He is very smart.  He is laid back, yet organized.  I get my love of travel from him.  He has demonstrated love & forgiveness to me, time & time again, which has created such a healthy view for me of my Heavenly Father's love for me.  My dad exemplifies God's love for me.  I am so thankful.  My dad is silly.  He gets this from his father, my grandfather, or if you know me, he was my Pop.  I sure do miss my Pop.  I really think he was pretty close to hanging the moon.  I could go on and on about him, but know I loved/love my Pop like no other.  It has been a joy to pass on stories to the girls about him & see how they love him too. I can't wait to give him a big hug when I get to heaven!  I also look forward to getting to know my other grandfather, who died when I was a baby.  He was a great man too.  I am blessed with Godly legacies of these men.

My girls are blessed also with a great father. Avery is a great dad.  He is intentional about spending time with each of them, helping them, & has fun with them. I am thankful my girls have his example in their lives.

He let them bury him in the sand!

A happy father's day to all the dad's, the hard working men in our lives who we love so much!
