Fathers...

I am lucky to have a great team of fathers around to love and nurture my little ones and add that spark to their lives. These men guide and direct my little ones and have made them the little people they are long before they were born.

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Raising a girl takes two parents:
A mom to show her how to be a woman.
A dad to show her how to be independent.
A dad's job is to make his daughter courageous. Fearless. To make her feel beautiful.
To give her a sense of adventure. To make her feel secure and confident.
Because he's her first love. Her first hero. The first man in her life.
~ Harry Harrison

Addie is the perfect present opener when you have your hands full.

Thanks to Poppy for teaching my husband how to be a great dad.
"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." -- Charles Wadsworth

And to my Dad for being a great teacher, provider, and friend.
A father is someone that
holds your hand at the fair
makes sure you do what your mother says
holds back your hair when you are sick
brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too busy
lets you eat ice cream for breakfast
but only when mother is away
he walks you down the aisle
and tells you everything is gonna be okay.
