My Children's Father

We had a "simple" but nice Father's Day. Mike was able to cut the lawn (with as much rain as we have had, was quite the accomplishment) and then we celebrated Father's Day and my Dad's birthday at my parent's house. Gracie and Michael gave Daddy a Father's Day balloon with a bag full of goodies (licorice, milk duds, smarties, tootsie rolls.....lots of candy) and if anyone knows Mike they know this is the way to his heart! Gracie colored him a "World's Greatest Dad" picture and he loved it.

Mike and I decided a long time ago that we do not need nor want gifts for Mother's Day or Father's Day, so we just do something "simple" from the kids and enjoy their excitement in giving to us. A long time ago (at least four years ago) we learned from our children that they are our greatest gift to the world and to each other. For a while we were not sure we would have children (Mike never gave up hope, I was just an emotional mess at the thought) and here we are with two beautiful, healthy, trouble causing, sassy, precious little people.

Mike is a wonderful Daddy, who his children adore (their mom too). He is one of the hardest working people I know and one who would give from his heart to everyone he cares about. I am very lucky to have Mike as my husband and father of my babies. I know he loves me and our children more then anything in this world and to me that is the greatest gift. I hope he had a wonderful Father's Day!
