Happy Father's Day!

To Matt ... you continue to amaze me in your parenting. You sacrifice daily so that I can be at home raising our son. You do it without question or without complaint, even when I know you often struggle to enjoy your days there. Your patience with Ethan humbles me, your love for him makes my heart sing and your example to him gives me such encouragement. Thank you!

To My Dad ... thank you for all that you do. I've so enjoyed watching you really light up as you've left behind many burdens and stresses the last year. You have a new joy about you and I love hearing about all your projects on "the farm" and watching you with Ethan. You two have quite the bond. For always being there with unfailing love, support and encouragement, thanks. I think you might be my biggest fan! ;).

To My Father-in-law, Jack ... thanks to you for the great son you raised. I know he was a special blessing to you and Mary as you raised him up in a Christian home. You continue to be a godly example to both of us and we're so thankful for your faithfulness. What a blessing to live close by, that Ethan can grow up having a relationship with you and us getting to witness that.

(A day late, but the sentiment none the less ... I was too busy mixing concrete (oh yes I did!) for fence posts, celebrating Father's Day with Matt as we toiled the land together yesterday!)
