a day for dad

 We tried really hard to make Jeff's Father's Day super special, even though we were celebrating a birthday too!  Jeff is the greatest and we wanted him to know how much we love him!  We let him sleep in and spoiled him with German Pancakes.  We had put a picture frame together for him to take to work with the girls holding a board saying the thing they loved the most about him.  We also gave him some new tools for the bbq along with a poem letting him know we want him to pick out a new grill when we get moved into our new place.  He has wanted a new grill for the longest time, but we just keep moving so the timing is never right.

I know he probably doesn't always feel how much we love and appreciate him, or even notice everything he does for our family, but we most definitely do!

*We notice that you get up to go to work an hour earlier than you need to be there just so you can get home an hour earlier to spend time with the girls.
*We notice that you are up later than everyone in the house working on your MBA...just to make our lives better.
*We notice how you include the girls in whatever project you are doing around the house, even though it takes twice as long.
*We notice that you are handy and can fix just about anything and that takes so much stress off of everyone else.
*We notice how excited you get to see the girls everyday and we notice that you don't take anytime for yourself when you get home.
*We notice how you never complain when you don't feel well or have a hard day.
*We notice that you want to make every moment you have home busy and fun.  You get us out of the house and out of the routine.
*We notice that you are involved in every single aspect of the girls' lives from dance to reading to school to sports to playing whatever princess game they want to talk to you about.
*We notice that your needs are often unmet because you are too busy making sure that ours are being met.

We love you so much and we know that you are the best dad and husband we could ever ask for!
