Happy Father's Day

I made this (with not much help from Benjamin) for Steven for Father's Day. My big challenge was to try and keep Steven from guessing what it was...Steven is notorious for figuring out his gifts, no matter how secretive I am. He swears to me that he didn't know about this gift, I'm still trying to decide if I believe him :) We put it in our garden, and it looks great. May it remind you of how much Benjamin and I love you every time you see it.











This was Steven's first "real" Father's Day, last year we were in the hospital being induced on the night of Father's Day. I love you so much, honey. You are such an amazing father!!! I get tears in my eyes when I think of how great you are with Ben, rough-housing, reading to him before bed, being tender with him. You are the perfect balance of what it takes to be a great father. He is so blessed to have a father like you, and I am so thankful that you are my husband. If Ben could really talk, he would thank you himself. This year, I'll have to be his spokesperson :)






This Father's day I had the privelege of celebrating not only with my husband, but my father, too (aka Dadio). It was great to celebrate together and honor who you are, Dad. You are also a fabulous father, I'm so thankful for our close relationship and all the great memories I have with you growing up. Thanks for teaching me to fish, always supporting me in whatever I did, and for loving me so well! Too bad we didn't have a chance to have a heart-to-heart on the porch swing this weekend. I love you, Dadio!
