HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Happy Father's Day!!!

To all the dads...and especially to Scott...the wonderful father of my children.

Cailey and Ben have the best daddy ever ~ and I know we don't tell him enough. Scott is a fun, loving, thoughtful, caring, and a natural at fatherhood. He is out front now, playing in the yard with Ben and teaching Cailey to ride her bike. What a great way to spend Father's Day! :o) We love you, Scott!!

Just a few quotes I love about fatherhood:

*All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye. ~ Margaret Atwood, Cat's Eyes

*It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was. ~ Anne Sexton

*The most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother. ~ Theodore M. Hesburgh

*My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~ Clarence B. Kelland

4 years: My Daddy can do anything!
7 years: My Dad knows a lot…a whole lot.
8 years: My father does not know quite everything.
12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.
50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?
60 years: My Dad knew literally everything!
65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.
