Happy Birthday Daddy!

I'm not even sure where to start so I guess I'll just start with Happy Birthday to the most important man in our lives, Husband, Father, Son, Brother and Uncle. We love you dearly and you mean the world to us. I started this a few days ago and it got way out of hand, I was looking through pictures to use a few for this post. Needless to say, I found a ton that I just love.

I loved it when "I" was this size, he loved to ride on Daddy's shoulders, except he called it, "riding on Daddy's head."



My best friend and the man of my dreams.



The family, minus one.



Thank you for being a hands on Daddy.



And for loving our babies.



I love this picture. I think it is one of my all time favorites.



Daddy and his boys.



I love the way you look at our children. There is so much love in your eyes.



Thank you for going to work every day to support us.



Thank you for using those same hands to be gentle and loving with our babies.



The second time Daddy held baby "E" but the first time with no tubes, wires or monitors.



The very first time Daddy held baby "E" he was nearly a week old.



Thank you for always involving the children in the things you do.



Nap time with Daddy and little "I" I remember those days like they were yesterday.

Thanks for being the man of my dreams. I love you more today than I ever thought possible. You are a wonderful husband and father and we could not be more blessed to have you in our lives. We love you with all our hearts and could not imagine our lives without you.



Thanks for giving me a baby girl.



Thanks for being a wonderful loving role model for our boys. What an awesome example you are to them.

Thanks for being a fun daddy.



Thanks for helping wrangle the dog for pet day.



Thank you for all that you do for your family. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. You always make each and every one of us feel special and that we are the only ones in the whole world who matter at any given time. Bringing the dog to pet day might not seem like much, but you are helping to mold the children into loving and responsible individuals. They have a daddy who cares enough to see them through the little things and for that we are grateful.

We love you!
