World's Best Dad!

We are so lucky to have the worlds best Dad right here in our house! How do we know? Well...

The world's best dad is silly and loves to play games.

He takes you on great adventures...

... and teaches you to love fires from an early age. 

The world's best dad is an amazing cook and makes the best food for everyone. 

He helps build pinewood derby cars... 

... and drives you all over the place. 

Of course the world's best Dad makes sure to embarrass you in front of your friends! 

We're SO lucky to have him around! We were reminded just how wonderful it is to have him here when he headed to Colorado for another 3-week teaching assignment at University of Northern Colorado. We hate having him gone, but appreciate how hard he works to support our family. 

It was a long three weeks without him, and Walter REALLY missed "Dada" while he was gone. He would ask for him daily and go crazy when we FaceTimed. 

Finally though, Dada was home. Walter's face says it all! 

By the time Michael got home from Colorado, Hazel was gone for choir tour, then both she and Eliza were gone at girls camp. After a whole month of someone being away, tonight was the first time in a that everyone was home for dinner. And it felt SO good! I love this beautiful family we have, and now that everyone's safely under one roof again I can relax. 

Thanks Michael for being the worlds' best Dad! You help make our home a place of love, learning, fun, faith, and amazing food. We LOVE you!!
