Happy Father's Day Chris!

Remember you're her daddy
when she's crying late at night,
when she needs a little loving
to know that it's alright.

Remember you're her daddy
when dolly's lost an arm,
when you take the time to fix it
because you can't resist her charm.

Remember you're her daddy
when she's had a real rough day,
when school's been pretty tough on her
and nothings went her way.

Remember you're her daddy
when she goes on her first date,
when you tell her to be in by ten
and she's not home 'till late.

Remember you're her daddy
when she makes you very proud,
when in a very awkward way
she stands out in a crowd.

Remember you're her daddy
the first man she's ever kissed,
and when you go away
you'll be very, very, missed.

Remember you're her daddy
remember I'm your wife,
we know that you'll love us
for the rest of your life



This is the poem I used with Chris' present this year. I took the girls hand prints scanned them in to the computer. I did this because getting 3 sets (for Chris, Grandpa and Pop-Pop) just wasn't working. So I took the best of the best. Grandpa/Pop-Pop had poems about Grandpas hands with a watermark of two big trees at sunset. Chris had this poem with their hand prints on a watermarked picture of the Wilderness Lodge boat dock at sunrise. I had picked a different picture at first, so I printed them both out. I asked Lily which one she liked better and without any prompting she picked the Wilderness Lodge. When I asked her why she liked it she said 'it means something to us'. She is just too intuitive!

Father's Day morning we got up and hung out till after nap time then we headed over to Aunt Lizzie's house for a Father's Day cookout. We had such a nice time. The girls just ran crazy all over the yard and though the sprinkler. We didn't leave there until it was close to bedtime. Overall I think it was a really fun day!



Chris Thank you for being such a great Daddy! Your girls love you bunches!!
