Father's Day

 I read an article that a friend of mine had posted on Facebook titled: Dad's, wake the hell up! found here. It's written by a stay at home dad who hears about dads(from stay at home moms) who just don't care to take the time to get to know their kids. It's a great article and one worth reading. Men don't get it. They don't get how hard it really is to stay home and talk to toddlers while trying to keep a clean house. Clean up after toddlers. Go run errands with toddlers. Have friends of said toddlers over for a playdate. Hear toddlers fight and whine. Discipline toddlers. And they never will.
 I am lucky. Brett does an amazing job with the kids. He is the one that helps Hallie learn to read (because I am impatient), He is the one to teach both kids how to play soccer in the backyard (because I don't like the sport), He is the one who works 12+ hours almost everyday and still walks in with a smile and wants to wrestle with Cole. He is that dad that doesn't bat an eye when I ask him to watch the kids when I need a night out, the dad who gets in the pool with them while I want to stay dry and warm, the dad that coaches the soccer team, the dad that takes them to movies by himself while I play Volleyball, the dad that cares for his kids. That's the kind of dad my kids have.

I also have been lucky enough to have the best father in law. He is quiet, respectful and he loves his grandkids... and it shows. Thanks Steve, I love you.
To my dad. you were that dad who let us girls put curlers in your hair, ride on your back and told us crazy bedtime stories. Thanks Dad, I love you.
