Happy Father's Day!

Happy Fathers day to all the daddy's out in Blog World!  YOU are so special!

Here at Playing House I'm going to be highlighting 3 Dads in that are a part of my life.

Dad

My dad has always been a big part of my life.  You know those dads that are a good role model for how you should live your own life?  Yeah, that's my dad.  He's selfless, giving, and encouraging.  I am beyond thankful that I was given him as my dad, and beyond thankful that he is now my children's grandpa.

Love you Dad!

Oh, notice anything interesting about my dads wardrobe?  I think we gave him that shirt for father's day one year... a long LONG time ago.  Apparently he takes very good care of his clothing.

Father-In-Law

My father-in-law is more of the strong silent type in my eyes.  He loves to give!  I can think of numerous times that he has slipped me a 20 dollar bill and said "This is for diapers... or whatever else you or the kids need".  He has been a blessing in my life since I've known him and I am especially thankful for the influence he has had in Ryan's life.  I appreciate his kind heart toward my kids and the love he has for them.

Love you Tom!

Husband and Father to my Babies

Watching Ryan be a father is the best.  He is so in love with Peyton and Vandis and has big dreams for them. Even over Skype he still shows that he is a loving father with a strong work ethic and desire to provide.  Ryan is protective, goofy, fun, and uninhibited when it comes to his parenting with our kids.  18 hours from now he will hold his 3 month old son for the first time.  Then in 391 hours will board a plane and selflessly show him what a strong, God-fearing man providing for his family and serving his country looks like.  I am proud to call him my husband and Peyton and Vandis are proud to call him daddy.

Love you Ryan!
