Father's Day...


Happy Father's day to all the daddies and daddies to be! This is a much better year for Brian. Last year was a bittersweet reminder of what could have been...especially with Gabriel's due date falling on Father's day. I had to work last year and it was a horrible day in the NICU for a few daddies and all I could think about was that on that day I was supposed to be giving my husband the best Father's day gift of all...a son. This year is better. We are expecting our little girl in just a few short weeks and Brian couldn't be more excited! He is so cute when he talks about our little girl. Of course we wish we had all of our babies to celebrate with but we know they are in our hearts. I can't wait to see Brian with his little girl. I think she has him wrapped around her finger already and she isn't even out yet! He is going to be a great daddy and Haylea is going to be daddy's little girl. Yeah, I am prepared for that. She is going to be just like I was and I always wanted to be by my daddy. I will try not to take it personally! But I sure can't blame her...her daddy is so lovable, who wouldn't want to spend all their time with him?!

What Makes a Dad...

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

I am so glad I am finally going to make my hubby a daddy!
