Father of my children

There isn’t much to say other than I think my children are THE luckiest kids on earth.

Okay I WILL say more…They have an amazing father who loves and adores them very much. He makes and takes time for them, teaches them with modern day parables, serves them in countless ways, works along with them as they realize the value of work, encourages them when they are feeling down, gives them an extra smile when they are sad, and is full of tenderness and compassion when they are in trouble. He supports each child in what is important to him or her. He also makes us laugh A LOT. He is pretty funny and he know how to have a good time. He also inspires us with his optimistic attitude and endless energy. He is STRONG, physically, mentally, and spiritually. He presides, protects, and provides in our home. He guides us as we aim for eternity and we want to follow him – none of us want to be without him. He is our rock.

About 15 years ago I decided to marry the man that would be the father of my children. He has built our dreams with his two hands, and given me more out of life than I could have ever hoped for. He has shown me a way to live simply and in this we’ve found what can bring true happiness. He quotes things like, "what we need is what we have". He listens to a song by Zac Brown called "Free" it says "we don’t need a lot of money all we need is LOVE." Although he provides well for us he knows that all we need in our family is a bunch of love and we are stinking billionaires when it comes to love from the Father at our house.

I am dedicating my new favorite song to him, " The Way That I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson. I am also going to add a link to the song I mentioned above…you can call it the Stephen Song. Because it is seriously HIS song. ENJOY….

Happy Father’s Day to all of the Father’s who make a difference in the lives of their children and families.


Lily tip toed in my room this morning and whispered in my ear “when are we going to make breakfast in bed for dad?” I didn’t know we were, but I hopped up and we poured him a bowl of his favorite “Life” cereal. She knew just how to show her dad she loves him!
