Our lives have changed a lot since last Father's Day with the addition of another little person to our family. And Andrew has taken it all in stride, quickly adjusting and thriving in our Kingdom of Pink. I've said before that I had no idea what a remarkable father Andrew would be when we got married -- I knew that he was kind and funny and passionate -- but the enthusiasm with which he has embraced this amazing responsibility has surpassed my wildest imagination.
He's made simply being there for his girls one of the highest priorities in his life and I know how lucky we are to be the recipients of that kind of devotion. So three cheers this Father's Day for the man who:
opened up his heart to love another baby girl unconditionally,
provided a shoulder to lean on,
kept himself grounded so those around him could soar,
encouraged his family's spiritual development,
played hopscotch in the driveway,
became close personal friends with Dora and Elmo and George,
fostered sweet dreams and cozy mornings,
attended impromptu tea parties,
gave chauffeured zoo tours,
taught a little fisherman how to cast a reel,
eased fears,
calmed tears,
cheered on brave attempts at carnival rides,
and turned an ordinary afternoon into a WWF audition.
That's quite the year you've had, Daddy! Your girls look up to you and absolutely adore you ~ it's easy to see why. I'm incredibly blessed to be walking this journey as parents with you and I can't wait to see how fatherhood continues to mold you in the years to come.
