Happy Father's Day Daddy!

We celebrated Chad and our Dad's this weekend.  Our kids are not really old enough to understand that Father's Day is a day for Dad to relax and take it easy.  To kick up his feet and watch golf all day if that is what he would like to do.  For our kids, Father's Day is just like any other day, kid-centric :)  We did cook breakfast for Daddy, steak, eggs and fried potatoes.  And, we ate on the back porch for an extra special treat.  We spent the day doing yard work, although Chad did escape for a couple hours to lay down with T to watch a movie.

I am never more impressed or in love with Chad then when I see him interact with T and Sarah.  The love that he shows to our children is immeasurable.  He has more patience than most of the fathers that I know and he is always willing to change a diaper, fix a lunch or rough around with them on the floor.  After spending 18 months with them at home as a stay-at-home Dad, the relationship that he has with them is different from most dads.  Chad knows what it is like to want to pull your hair out from the screaming that has surely taken place during the day.  He knows what it is like to put to rest 100 squabbles before 11am and he knows what it is like to go into the bathroom for 2 minutes and come out to what seems to have been a tornado flying through the house.  He has experienced all of this first hand over the last year and a half which has given him a different perspective.  I have been blessed with not only an amazing best friend and husband, but a truly outstanding father for our children.  One day T and Sarah will realize what they have in Chad and love him even more than they do today.  Thank you Chad for everything that you do for T, Sarah and me.  We love you more than you know.
