Happy Father's Day!

Ashley and I would like to wish all those fathers and grandfathers out there a Happy Father’s Day! We hope that you all have a wonderful day!

Unfortunately, Thad is out of town and is not here to celebrate Father’s Day with us. He is currently in Brazil as a participant in a Humanitarian Aid Dental Trip with the Dental School. He’ll be back with us next Sunday. Since he is not here, Ashley and I wanted to dedicate this post to him and tell him (and everyone else) what a wonderful daddy we think he is. Ashley loves to play with her dad; he is her own personal jungle gym! She loves it when he takes her on walks or helps her ride her bike. She also loves to play hide-and-seek with him. But, I think her favorite thing is getting up early with Daddy and watching cartoons with him on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

We wanted to share a couple of stories just to show how excited Ashley gets when Daddy comes home. She always knows when daddy should be home and will stand by the door looking for his truck. As soon as she sees him pull in, she starts waving and exclaiming “Hi Daddy!” When he opens the door, she gives him a big hug and can’t wait to play with him. Some nights she has to go to bed before Daddy gets home and she is always disappointed. The other night I was up in bed and Thad got home around midnight. Ashley was asleep in her crib and when she heard the front door open, she woke right up and exclaimed “Daddy!” She knew that he was finally home. It was so sweet! Ashley loves her daddy very much!!
