Happy Father's Day!

They say that girls usually marry someone like their father. While I am guessing R will probably not be seen regularly on the golf course or riding a boat and I probably won't catch him listening to the Yankee games on his Ipod I do see many similarities between R and my dad and this week I was reminded of one similarity in particular. I should preface this by saying that I recently started taking cake decorating classes. Okay, so we were sitting on the couch chatting the other day and R randomly starts talking to me about a specific kind of icing and cake decorating technique that the average joe would not know about let alone know the cake decorating lingo. Puzzled I asked why he knew about that and he said that it was my new hobby and so he wants to take an interest in it and watched some Youtube videos to learn more about it. In a similar fashion when I took up softball my dad became my softball coach and when I took up lacrosse my dad went to every game he could attend (even driving from CT to MA during college). Not only are they both incredibly encouraging with their words but with their actions as well. And now that R and I have our beautiful one year old (yikes!! I still can't believe she's one) they both take an interest in whatever she is interested in...playing under the kitchen table, pointing at birds, or whatever else she enjoys at the moment. A, R and I are all extremely blessed to have AMAZING fathers. There are so many children who do not even have one male role model to look up to and I am so thankful that A has her daddy, grandpa and papa to look to for traits that she may someday find in her own husband.

Happy Father's Day! We love you!!
