Happy Father's Day!

Today we celebrate all the daddies out there!  I know you probably think that you know the best ones around, but there are a few that I am pretty partial to myself.  The first of course would be my Daddy.  Not only is he the best Dad ever, but he has become a pretty amazing Baba, too!  (For those who don't know, Baba is grandpa to our kiddos).

Justin's dad is a pretty special guy, too.  He, of course, is the most wonderful father-in-law around, but he also helped to shape, mold, and build character in the man who is doing the same with my children.  And, that 's pretty special.

And, last but not least in this trio of most amazing fathers would have to be the father of my two, sweet boys.  Chandler and Liam certainly are two lucky kiddos to have a Daddy who is head over heels in love with them, teaches them how to be a kid, helps them learn all kinds new things, fixes their boo-boos and broken toys, plays with them, and shows them every day how much he loves them.  Here are some photos to showcase a bit of this special Dad's journey through fatherhood so far.
