Father's Day

It's hard to believe that a year ago we were calling our fathers to wish them Happy Father's Day and to tell them that we were expecting a baby. My how a year has changed us. Today we celebrate Kevin's first Father's Day and I couldn't be happier to have him as the father of our little girl.

I love the way he looks at her with such love in his eyes. You can tell he is a proud papa and he loves to show her off. She gets a huge grin on her face whenever she sees him and you can tell she knows his voice because she gets excited when she hears him on the phone or on FaceTime.

We are so lucky to have him to support us, protect us and love us!

I wanted to spoil him a little bit because he is always spoiling me, so I let him get a gas grill that he has been wanting. It is small and was affordable so I couldn't say no. Plus that means I don't have to smell charcoal as often now. I also made him a cute photo gift of Ellie spelling Dad and got him a framed picture of "Praying at Valley Forge" that he has been wanting.

I am also so grateful for my own father who has been such a great example of working hard and being so selfless with his time. He always puts his family first no matter what his responsibilities at work are and I will always cherish that.
