Happy Father's Day

Sorry this is late Dad, but I wanted to take my time on it, so here you go.
Something I am so grateful for is my Dad coming and helping when we need his talent for fixing things. Papa is always right there when you need him to help, "here can you hold this screaming baby", "ok sure" with a smile on his face. My Dad LOVES to teach people new things, especially the kids. Ashton is totally into it, he gets SO excited when we are going to see Papa Wayne, what can I learn today.
My Dad is never selfish, he always shares, even when it is his birthday.
This day we were at the after bay (lake) , and he had just finished making the kids tether ball. He was so excited about it he brought it out onto the shore, I know. I would have just said they can wait till we get home, but he is always ok with putting extra effort into something to make them happy.
This is one of my favorites, I was preggers with Jack and the girls were at school and for some reason I needed him to watch Ashton. So he did, and he called the night before to tell me what to dress Ashton like, so they could be twins, camo cargo pants and cream shirts. How cute is that?
I wasn't around this day, but Grandma and Papa took the girls to there cheer leading while I went to a baby shower (Donna's ) with Jack. And let me tell you, those things were a lot of work, hot long days. Here is when Ashton was getting a little tired and bored maybe, and Dad took him to a baseball field near by to "teach him the game". He ran or walked around the bases with him telling him how a game plays out.
Dad
You are an awesome Papa to my children.
You are supportive of me and my family.
You value your family and loved ones.
You love Jesus and strive to walk in his path.
You are always trying to better yourself.
You are the best Dad.
I love you so very much Dad, I am very blessed to have you as MY Dad
Happy Father's Day

Thank You Annie, Even thou I do not know how to love my kids more than I do, I have not always been all of those things to both You and Eric. I have always wanted to but could not figure out how. My resent growth through the mercy and grace of Jesus is allowing my real self to come to the surface. I love you, Dan the kids all seperately and together. Its my joy to give my absolute all to those I love.

Thank you for saying so
I Love You
Dad
