Father's day

Emilia’s top 10 reasons why she loves her daddy: 10. He pushes me WAAAY higher in the swing than mommy would ever push me and tosses me around, even right after I eat!

9. He has broadened my shopping horizons to include favorites such as Home Depot, Lowes, Bass Pro Shop and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

8. He gave me my unique singing ability, complete with the propensity to make up words and sing totally off key.

7. He’s working extra hard right now to convert our basement into a play area for me and my baby sister. Yes! My plan for total house domination is slowing coming true.

6. He’s the reason I have sweet dreams at night after he gives me a bath, reads me my favorite books and prays with me before tucking me in.

5. He’s generally on the same sleeping schedule as me – taking afternoon naps on the weekend and starting to quickly fade after dinner (“Daddy tired. Mia tired.”)

4. He gave me my insatiable appetite and introduced me to all of the important food groups, including an array of salsas and other condiments. He can go toe-to-toe with me when it comes to snagging as many Costco samples in one shopping trip as possible.

3. He teaches me important lessons about which lure to use in various fishing conditions and how the NASCAR Sprint Cup scoring system works.

2. He’s the funny one who’s always telling jokes. Not like that stuffy mommy.

1. He loves me, and I know that because he tells me and shows me all the time!

Happy father’s day, daddy!
