Happy Father's Day Bill! Your 3 Girls Love You

Here is my favorite guy curled up on the couch with two of his favorite girls and a good book. Bill is a wonderful father. As our girls start to grow up they will learn this for themselves. I'm just proud of myself that I did such a great job picking out the father for my kids. I think his heart melts every time he hears Lilah say, "Dada." Some Dads don't spend a lot of time with their kids, but Bill starts playing the minute he walks in the door. He even helps me get dinner done and or washed and the kids ready for bed when he's been working hard all day. He takes great care of his family. Bill is off every wednesday, I don't know if many of you know that. But the girls and I call wednesdays our Daddy day, and its hands down our favorite day of the work week. Here's Bill, ....father's day morning,.... we made him a special mexican breakfast, his favorite! I should share that he cooked a large portion of it while I was fielding phone calls and tending to Aubrey Jane....what a great Dad!
Bill got 4 special gifts. One from each of us girls, and one from the 3 of us. This is a basting pot for when he's grilling. Aubrey Jane got him this one, but she was asleep when we opened gifts. Bill is quiet the grill master. He just got a new grill, so we got him several accessories for our favorite top chef.
Then we headed out for a hike not far from our house. Bill got me a hiking with kids in Western Washington book for mother's day and we found this hike in it. The weather was fantastic, sunny skies and 75 degrees, it made all those dreary cloudy days start to feel worth it. We made Bill a frame for father's day that had a picture of Bill and his Dad in it when Bill was a baby and Opa had him in a backpack. The other picture in the frame was of Bill with Lilah in a backpack. It was super cute. We gave Opa one too!
Here's just a cute picture of Bill and Lilah being silly at home.

While we were at breakfast today we were talking that last year he'd only been a Dad a few weeks on father's day. This year he's a real dad,..... house is messy, ... kids crying.... he's really earned his special day this year! And just 3 days after father's day we learned sweet Aubrey Jane was on the way, now that's one father's day gift we're not repeating this year!

Happy Father's Day to Opa, Papa Jack, & Papa Jerry. We love you all and hope your day was great! And to Papa, we're thinking of you and missing you!

We love you Bill, Happy Father's Day!
