Happy Fathers Day


Todd,

You might be asking yourself why I chose to post this picture. Well, let me tell you...

This was taken moments after Owen was born. You were so overwhelmed and proud all at the same time. When Hailey was born you were over the moon and excited, but had no idea what you were in for. When he came, you knew just how much your heart would swell with love and how life-changing this moment was...hence, the emotion.

You are an amazing dad. Sometimes, I don't think you realize it. Our kids are madly in love with you. They both light up when they hear your truck coming down the driveway. Hailey talks about you all the time. You are such a kid at heart. I'm never surprised when you come home with some sort of toy that the "kids need". ;)

Thank you for loving our kids so well. That its so important to you to plan for their future and to dream big for them. The determination and excitement that goes into encouraging Owen to take steps and the importance you see in Hailey learning how to talk like a big girl and not be afraid of things.

You are a great dad, Todd.

We love you.

~Hailey, Owen and their Mommy

So sweet- what a lucky man Todd is to have a wife who lets him know how important he is. =)
