Happy Father's Day

Aren't Daddy's awesome? I know mine is and I'm so thankful for him and all the lessons he's taught me along life's way. Yesterday at our church, our pastor was referring to how important Dad's are in the family and how many families don't have Daddy's. This is so sad, to think that little children don't grow up with their daddy's and to think of what daddy's miss when they don't get to "grow up" with their little children. I'm so thankful that my daddy was always there when I was growing up and still is!

And then when we have kids of our own, to watch our husbands take on the role of "daddy". He amazes me too, and yes, there are times when I have to gently guide him back in the right direction (as I'm sure all wives do) but he does an awesome job and man, Carson and Emilia LOVE their daddy.

I had emphasized to Carson & Emilia that Father's Day was a day set aside to thank God for our Earthly fathers and to thank him for our Heavenly Father too. And that we would let Daddy pick what we did. Of course we started the day off with Sunday School and church and then my parents met us for lunch at Red Lobster. This was actually picked for me b/c on Mother's Day I had wanted to go to Red Lobster but Vince had wanted to go to Outback, since it was Mother's Day, I gave in and we went to Outback, wishing the whole time since then, we had stayed at Red Lobster (I love their biscuits and that new wood grill they have) So, yesterday, he made up for it and picked Red Lobster, which I knew was for me!!! Thanks Vince.

Then we went back home and took naps and since our church was called off for the evening, so we could spend more time with our families, we swam, and then my daddy and I grilled hamburgers that were sooooo good. Thanks Daddy, I enjoyed making hamburgers with you.

It made for a long, enjoyable day and I'm thankful and blessed to have the parents I have and the husband and father to my children I have.

(Thanks also to B. McCoy for finally showing me how to post my pictures in the center on here!!!)
