Happy Birthday Daddy!

The summer birthday bonanza continues.  This Friday we celebrated Daddy.  The kids love to "surprise" him on with cake...
presents...
and party time...
We are so blessed to have such a wonderful man leading our family.  He provides with a life of comfort and fun, he works hard so I can stay home to care for and teach our kids, he puts his family first and spends as much time with us all as possible, he can step in seamlessly and completely care for the kids and house, he makes everyone around here laugh and smile, he loves God and seeks to serve Him, he loves to surprise us, he takes the time to pursue the things each one of us enjoys, and most of all he loves us.

In the past few years he has carried our family as I have struggled with depression, thyroid disease, and our family has dealt with Julia's cancer.  He is not afraid to carry the weight of the work in the house and he does everything on his power to get us all to the next step.  he knows how to make us laugh and he knows how to make us feel loved.  And you've done all of this while totally rocking a life changing weight loss! You decided back in February to get healthy.  And as they say, "There's an app for that." Thanks to the Lose It program and your iTouch, you started counting calories.  In a matter of days the weight was falling off.  Now, six months later you are the healthiest you have ever been with a new wardrobe (of 32s!), a regular gym and biking habit, and 73 pounds lighter than last year!! It has been an amazing, almost overnight transformation to see you completely reborn.  We are so proud of you, you new found health, your new outlook on life, and the years added to your life with all of us.
Happy Birthday honey, you totally rock :) !! 

So, on your birthday here's one of our favorite clips.  This, too, is your life, and you have embraced it fully :)
