Happy Father's Day (Amanda)

to all fathers everywhere, especially to my dad, my father-in-law, my grandfathers (two of whom have gone home to be with their Heavenly Father), but most especially to the daddy of my two little girls.

I can't imagine a better daddy than Ryan is to Ryleigh and Ashtyn. Most of you know that since Ryleigh was born nearly three years ago, he has been the primary parent, his main job has been as a stay-at-home dad. That has at various times been more of a struggle than at others, but God has truly gifted him in this area, and He has gifted our girls with an amazing daddy.

Ryan, I know we haven't taken much time in all this whirlwhind to appreciate each other, but please know that I love you and I love the way you father our girls. They are so blessed by you, even though they don't yet know that anyone ever has any less of a father than you are to them. Someday, I hope they will appreciate you for the father you are too them. You have a special bond, especially with Ryleigh, from being home while I've been working. Ryleigh, Ashtyn, and I all love you so much!
