I'm a week late with my Father's Day post. Is anyone surprised? ;)

I'm thankful most of all for my Heavenly Father. I fail over and over, I slip and slide and get distracted and absent-minded, I'm like a broken record saying "I'm sorry Father, please forgive me". But He doesn't get impatient or short-tempered with me. He loves me still!

I'm also thankful for the father of my children. :) He's a great Dad. The kids have no question about his love for them. Spending time with them, playing with them, teaching them things, praying with them.

He took Victoria to a Father/Daughter Gala earlier this spring. She's a daddy's girl and she felt so special going alone with him for the evening. They had a dance after the dinner and even though he 'doesn't dance' and thinks it's so 'Richard Gere', he asked her if she wanted to dance. Lucky for him, she was to self-conscious. :)
Cameron....
Victoria...
Kalei...
and Antoine.
And my own dear Dad. Catching his afternoon nap in the midst of all the action and noise when family is home for Sunday lunch. He has taught me more than I can even begin to tell you. I love you, Dad. From the bottom of my heart....
