Happy Father's Day...a few days late!

I haven't had a chance to post this, but we wanted to tell Brian how much we love him and are thankful to have him as a Dad and husband. I thought it would be great for the kids to tell their favorite things about their Dad, so here it goes (this is what they said word-for-word):

Andrew:
1. I like playing with him.
2. He's fun.
3. He is silly.
4. I love him.
5. I like to play with him in the backyard.
6. He takes me to Jazz games.














Noah:
1. I like when he goes somewhere with me.
2. I like when he watches movies with me.
3. I like when Dad watches my t-ball game.
4. I like when Dad comes to the store with us.
5. He's a fun Dad.
6. Daddy makes me laugh.














Ella:
1. Daddy goes to work and plays ponies and drinks chocolate milk.
2. He plays with me.
3. He is nice.
4. He lets us play with friends.
5. He dances with me.
6. He plays on the computer with me and all kinds of good things.












Ava:
Since Ava can only say single words, I'll tell you what I appreciate about Brian's fathering skills with Ava.
1. He is willing to change all diapers, no matter how disgusting.
2. He makes her laugh all the time.
3. He adores her and constantly informs her that she is the cutest baby alive.
4. He will wake up with her in the night (on the rare occasion that she does wake up).
5. He will always take her from me when I need a break, no matter how she protests.
6. He has given her his good looks! (It's obvious that she looks like him!)

I like Ella's comment the best, "Daddy goes to work and plays ponies and drinks chocolate milk." -That's so cute! Happy belated Father's Day.

I'd like to chime in and say "Happy Father's Day to Brian" as well. My number one reason I think he's great is he is moving you closer to home. We are excited to get to see you all more often.

Ella's was my favorite with Brian playing ponies with her. Now that's a fun daddy!! Such cute kids!
