Happy Father's Day to Brad & my Dad

Happy Father's Day to a Daddy who's been there from the first walk and
the first night, when you had to sleep on an uncomfortable pull out chair bed and get up during the night to change and feed our newborn.Thank you for always putting a smile on our baby's face and for helping me keep one on mine.For taking care of us and bringing us home so she can grow up knowing her extended family.
For being there for every milestone and first time, and for also being there for
the everyday moments.
For giving our daughter the right amount of independence, while still being close by to help guide and protect.
For introducing her to new things and experiences and for helping her find the courage to try some thing for the first time.
For being a big kid at heart, who knows how to have fun...
and teaching our child how to enjoy life too.For always showing us you love us both unconditionally, ER will always know how much she is treasured.
You are our rock and support. You're such an important person in our little lady's life and in mine too.
Happy Father's Day, Brad! We love you!

I knew Brad would be a great Dad because I know just what goes into being one!
Happy Father's Day to my Dad too, you have always given me the love I needed and the freedom to grow and be my own person. Yet, I 've always known you'd be there to support me and give me guidance whenever I need it. I am so glad we were able to move back to be near you, mom, and Dave. Having ER and becoming a parent made me realize that life is too short to not spend as much time as possible with the ones you love most.
You are a wonderful Papa to ER and one of her most favorite people in the world. Her face lights up whenever you're around. The time she spends with you is priceless. I love you Dad!

  8. Awe, that was a sweet post! Made me a little teary:)

    The pictures are very nice. In our hospital Jason slept on a couch that was connected to the wall. I was so glad he stayed. My hormones were starting to get out of wack and I was crying a lot. Breastfeeding just wasn't go so well:(

  9. I raise my glass to Brad for everything he does: getting us chicken cherry salad, letting us make fun of his miniatures, remembering how much Katie hates mustard sauce & letting my crazy self stay with them when I need to. Brad you are one HELL of a man!!!!
    P.S. Katie's dad kicks butt too!!!
