Happy Fathers Day

Just want to wish Mr. Wonderful a Happy Fathers Day! Sadly, he is on his way to Ohio today to go to a spectroscopy conference. Sounds fun right? Anyway, back to the Daddy stuff. My kids have the best dad I could have possibly hoped for. I am so proud of the man my husband shows my boys how to be. He treats people well, is loving toward his children, disciplines the big kid when he needs correction and is just... overall an incredible role model. I love him, I love the dad he is. One song that reminds me of him anytime I hear it is called "Safe and Sound" by Matthew West because Mr. Wonderful definitely protects our family and it was instantaneous. It just became a part of him the first time he held our oldest son. He makes my children feel incredibly safe and helps Super Muscles overcome his fears. He provides consistency and stability and would want nothing more than to teach them 'why we pray'.

Can’t believe you’re here now
Tiny dream come true
The answer to a prayer now
I’m so in love with you
Couldn’t wait to meet you
Hope you like your name
I get the funny feeling
Life will never be the same

Safe and sound
You’re here with me now
Like I hoped you’d be
Safe and sound
You’re here with me now
And that’s all I’ll ever need

The world’s a scary place here
But baby it’s alright
I’ll make sure the coast is clear
So you can just sleep tight
But if you’re afraid of monsters
Like everybody is
I’ll be right beside you
Closer than a kiss

Safe and sound
I’m here with you now
And you will always be
Safe and sound
I’m here with you now
And that’s all you’ll ever need

Someday I’m gonna teach you
The reason why we pray
So that heaven’s love may reach you
Every single day
So, baby close your eyes now
And say a prayer with me
Lord, I lay me down to sleep now
But I know I will be

Safe and sound
You’re here with us now
And we will always be
Safe and sound You’re here with us now
And that’s all we’ll ever, all we’ll ever need
You’re all we’ll ever need

Also, I want to say Happy Father's Day to my Dad... the dad that met my mom when I was about 8 years old, married her and then tried his hardest to be what was missing in my life and my brothers' lives. You are a good man Dad and I am thankful you are in my life.

Happy Father's Day to all the awesome dads out there. I hope you know how important you are in the lives of your children. From a girl that grew up for quite a while with out a "daddy", I can assure you that you are one of the most important influences in their lives.
