Happy Father's Day

Well, I have some great men in my life (my Husband, my Father-in-law and my own Dad) so I thought I would take a section of my blog to share some of my favorite things about each one.
I'll start with my Dad. It's really hard to put into words what my heart feels when I think of him. He is undeniabley the most Godly man I know! And that speaks volumes of his character and the example he has always been to my brother and I. I am so glad my daughters have him around because he is an amazing Grandad! Seeing him play with the girls at their young age is like looking back in time. I don't remember being that young but as I watch my dad play with them (he's the get down on the floor to play type of Grandad! Really cool!) I see how he must have been with me. It's so amazing and melts my heart! Thanks for being an incredible example Dad! I love you!
Next is for my Hubby! Ryan is that kind of father who I know my girls will have a crazy, you got to love him, kind of relationship with, because he is so silly! It's the one quality that drew me to him in the beginning. I love that he can make me laugh no matter what! I mean, really, what is life without laughter? BORING!!! For example, I was out running errands a month or so ago and when I come home Avery said that she and her daddy
had created a new game. I was really surpised! I couldn't wait to hear about this new game and how it was played. Oh, ok, are you ready for this... the game consisted of bonking each other on the head with a ball and saying "Urnk"! Seriously?? They had been hitting each other in the head when I was out? What kind of game is this? Well, Avery thinks it's hillarious and she and daddy were playing it today when I was gone again. All I ask is that we don't play this game with Riley until she is old enough to give a good "Urnk" herself! Ryan, you are an awesome father! Thanks for being You! The girls and I love and adore you!
And finally my Father-in-Law. He's a great man whom I came to love very quickly after meeting him. He's got an outgoing and can't-sit-still personality that draws people to him. And one of his best traits is his spirit of giving. I truly believe it's a gift from God. Ryan and I have tried to learn by his example of generosity and we hope that someday we will be able to give to others as much as he and Beverly have. Thank you for allowing God to use you to minister in His name! I love you! So, all I can say is that I am a blessed woman to have such wonderful men in my life! I thank God for each of them every day! Tell me about the Father(s) in your life...
