Dear Dad,
I know sometimes you think I don’t notice all you do for us, but I do. I just might not realize how special these things are until I’m older. I still think all kids have it as good as I do. But I notice.
When you put yourself in harm’s way to protect us.
When you lift us instead of weights.
When you spend your afternoon off driving us in the go cart.
How you let us “help” you so that home projects take you so much longer.
How you work so hard and then hang out with us in the living room and let us sit in your lap until we both crash.
When you put us first…even in the little things.
The way you patiently teach us new skills.
When you aren’t too proud to get on the floor and play with us.
How you love our Mommy and help her be home with us taking care of us.
The fun we have as a family.
How much you love the Lord and try to live right.
In short, you are the best Dad we could ask for. Even if we don’t quite realize it yet.
Thanks to Hallmark for sponsoring this post as part of the campaign. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should. Taking the time to remember the important things in life is something we should all do more often.

So many sweet pictures! You should get the kids to draw daddy some pictures, then scan them and use those plus some of these photos to make him a little photo book!

He really is a wonderful man. I was picky in college but I am also blessed.
