Happy Father's Day!

What a day we've had! The kids jumped in bed with us this morning to give hubby his gift--an Eat-Sleep-PS3 t-shirt, a new Wii game (that they really wanted!), and some candy. And of course, there was the card with the required fart joke. LOL He made such a fuss over everything. They were so proud of themselves. Then we headed to Mass, got takeout from Abuelo's, and put together our new TV stand for upstairs. The kids absolutely love "helping" him do a project around the house. I could not have asked for a better father for my children! I love you, sweetie!

Now we're just relaxing, giving me an opportunity to think of my own dad. He is one of the funniest people I know. He would hang a lantern from the ceiling fan in the living room so we could play Monopoly when the electricity would go out in the middle of a hurricane. He once took a nap during an IMAX movie on a field trip with my class. And he was always the one getting in trouble during Mass! ;) But more importantly, he was always there when I needed him and still is. When I needed someone to talk to late at night, he was there. When I was devastated by a break-up in high school, he was there. And when I wanted to gush over the incredible man I met that I knew would be my future husband, he was there, too. I cherish every memory I have and look forward to many more!

Daddy, I will never forget the way you took my face into your hands at the altar and gently kissed me before giving me away at our wedding. You made me feel so precious--just the way I feel about you! I love you, Daddy and Happy Father's Day!
