Just wanted to pop in and wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads in my life. Each one is so amazing in his own way.

First, my own Dad: The smartest, kindest, gentlest man on earth. He’s in Spain right now–I just got an email from him. My heart aches for how much I miss him. I’m definitely Daddy’s little girl, even at 28 years old!

Next, my Father-In-Law: I never expected to love “someone else’s Dad” so much, but I do. He has been such a great friend to me and so generous and helpful. My children adore him and he adores them back. I love him for being such a devoted Grampa.

And then, of course, my darling Husband: I thought I loved this man with all my heart the day I married him, but I didn’t even know what love was until the first time I saw him holding our first baby. I cry every time (including right now!) I think about the way he walked around with her, moments after she was born, singing “Getting to Know You.” A new life was born that day, along with a whole new depth of my love for him. And with every baby, that love just deepens. He is Super Dad. He takes his turn getting up in the night with sick babies, he helps put them in bed, he spoon feeds, he takes them on outings. They love him as much as he loves them. How could they not?

Happy Father’s Day, Guys!!!
