Father's Day!

I have the best dad.  He has always loved and supported me.  I've always felt like he was proud of me and interested in my life.  I was so happy the day we decided to share our Kindle accounts.  The other day he asked me if there were any books on our account that he wasn't seeing.  I told him, no, that's all of the books.  Then he said, "Hmmm, I've already read everything that looks interesting to me."  We laughed because Mom shares my account too.  There are plenty of things to keep our interest!  So I went on my account and added ten new books for Father's Day.  I really hope some of them turn out interesting to him! I love being his Kindle Buddy.

I really focused on Greg today.  He is such a great father to our children.  We both slept in with Lance between us.  When we woke up and Lance started snuggling with us, I said, "Lance, we weren't even going to have you!!"  Then I hugged and kissed Lance so tightly.  He hugged me right back.  It is one of my favorite things to think about.  He's like my little bonus baby.  I'm forever grateful that Greg agreed to bring one more child into this world.  Greg grabbed Lance then and tickled and hugged him too.

We gave Greg a beautiful, hand-crafted marble solitaire game.  The kids and I had tried it while Greg was at ward council.  It's really hard.  Emma guessed that Greg would get it on the first try.  And sure enough, Greg came home, we gave him the gift, and he proceeded to solve the puzzle on his first try! Man, he's a smart guy.  :)

After church and a big Sunday dinner, Greg put his feet up while we all cleaned the kitchen.  Then the girls and I baked up some goodies--no-bake cookies and scotcheroos--to eat while we watched Greg's favorite movie, Remember the Titans.  As the movie ended, I reached over to squeeze my lover's hand.  The first time I saw Greg, I distinctly knew he would be my husband and the father of my children.  I'm so very thankful that he's lived up to every hope and dream I ever had.  And that he's fathered this large brood we have.  More than that, he's been a dad.  And that's something special.
We couldn't love him more!

Greg, thank you for being you!  We all love Dad!!
