Father's Day (and a Little Reminder From Mother's Day)

Happy Father's Day to R - and all those fatherly people in my life! I have many, you know. I am really blessed to have a father, a step-father, a father-in-law, the memories of a wonderful grandfather and great-Grandfather, and the father of my beautiful children (all I'm missing is an adoptive father and a Godfather... then I'd have it all!). While I love and appreciate each father in my life, I'm most thankful today and everyday for my husband. R is the kind of dad any kid would wish for. It makes my heart FULL to know my children are loved, taught, adored, disciplined, teased and understood by their dad.

I neglected to post the pictures we took on Mother's Day before. My request on Mother's Day was to have everyone help me make strawberry jam. It was a lot of fun and we are still enjoying the fruits of our labor!

I should also add that I have the best Mom ever. Love you, Mom. I'm also so thankful for all the incredible examples of mothers that I have the benefit of knowing and learning from. There are way too many to ever list!
