Happy Late Father's Day, and finally going forward


Dear Kate and Riley,
Yesterday was Father's Day and I'm sure you were wishing your dad a happy day. We had a low key day. I tried to make breakfast for dad which was kind of a disaster. Then before church Zach had a little light bulb moment of sorts and figured out how to crawl! It was exciting and I was happy daddy was home to see it too! But now I'm in big trouble and better start babyproofing this place, he is currently pulling cd's off of our shelf and pushing buttons on the cable box.

Last night I made dad dinner (which went over better than breakfast) and we just hung out for a low key night. We gave dad a golf game this week with his friend Wade.

Yesterday I walked by Zach's room while dad was rocking him and it was just the sweetest moment ever. Your dad is such an amazing dad and you two and Zach are all so lucky to have him. He is so great with Zach, watching them together is something that just brings me pure joy every time I see it. I feel like your dad never sees being a dad as a "chore" it isn't a question that he will take Zach at church and I get to sit in relief society alone, it wasn't a question if I could go on our girl's trip last month, I don't have to ask him to feed Zach dinner or rock him or anything, he just does it because he's the dad and that's what he does. He was definitely always meant to be a dad. It has made me love him even more than I did when I married him. He remembers you girls in our prayers every night and I love that too. So happy Father's Day to your wonderful dad!
Love,
Mom
