Happy Father's Day

Dear Dad,
Thanks for all that you do for us. We appreciate your sacrifices, and your desires to make us happy. Thanks for building bird houses with us, and fixing our toys. Thanks for hot fudge sundae runs, and playing with us at the pool.
Oh, and thanks for doing things for Mom, she's much happier when you're around.

Love,
Kayla & Trevor

I included these two pics of Ryan because they show how happy is by being a dad. I vividly remember the day that Kayla was born. She was so small, and Ryan was afraid to hold her (she was 6 weeks early). I literally plopped her in his arms and told him he wouldn't break her. From that time on, he was mesmerized by her. He loved snuggling with her in the evening when he came home from work. I don't think he truly was prepared for the way he would feel by becoming a dad.
Those feeling didn't change when Trevor came. As a matter of fact, I think they intensified. Trevor has proven to be all boy, desiring to do all the things that Ryan loves to do. When Ryan's fixing something, Trevor wants to be right there, learning everything he can from his dad.
So on this father's day, I want to say thank you Ryan, for all that you do to make the children happy! Oh, and even though I'm grouchy at times because I think you're never home, I still love and appreciate all you do :-)

Love,
Melissa
