Dads Rock!

Let's hear it for DADs because let's face it, they ROCK and don't HEAR it often enough.
The girls did some shopping and some creating to show both their dad and Grandpa how much they are loved.
Kippy put together this picture frame for Steve. She had a hard time deciding on a picture because she originally wanted it to be just a picture of her and her daddy, but conceded {with some gentle nudging from me} that the best picture was one her daddy with both his girls.


Abby did a made a custom card and inserted a poem she wrote.

"I sure hope this Father's Day
is your very best by far.
Extra nice and extra fun
the way you always are.
You're the greatest kind of dad
any kid every had."

Steve got some new grillin' gadgets and some spicy Thai sauce for him to try.
And this year, we were at the farm and got to celebrate Father's day in person with my dad.
Abby & Kippy got to snuggle in and watch their Grandpa Rod read his card and open his gifts.
And as always is the case, the giving and receiving of hugs is the best gift of all. Hope the two most important men-in-my-life know how special they are to all of us!

Dad's and their daughters

Wishing all dads a very Happy Father's day!

I knew when I first started dating Steve that he would be a great dad. He is so loving, patient and protective. I hope our girls always know how blessed they are to have a dad like theirs.

I have to say that I have a very special dad, too. My dad is always willing to lend a helping hand, has a fantastic sense of humor, gives meaningful and timely advise, and gives the best bear hugs ever. In fact, my dad is the only one who can hug me and fix my back at the same time! I couldn't ask for a better Grandpa for our girls. In fact, the only Grandpa that my girls have memories of is of my dad. They never got to meet Grandpa Stan Lindgren (Steve's dad), nor Great-grandpa Harold Officer (Steve's grandpa) and don't have clear memories of their Great-Grandpa Rudy (my grandpa). There is a rich legacy of great dad's that my kids get to experience through their dad and their Grandpa Rod and for that, I am truly grateful and blessed.
Since my dad loves chimes we wanted to find a set that were special to give to him on Father's Dad. We were able to find these beautiful sounding chimes called Corinthian Bells, which sound amazing. Click here to listen.
Dad was very impressed with them and hung them up right away on the porch. Dad, we hope the chimes sooth and entertain you and remind you of how much we love you!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!
