{happy father's day}

Dear Daddy,

Thanks for always playing with us even when you probably don't have the time. Thanks for always making the time and making us feel important. Thanks for catching lizards and snakes and turtles and frogs for us to look at no matter how late we're running or how hard it's raining. Thanks for introducing us to man-food as soon as you possibly could; you would have blended it and mixed it in our bottles had mom let you (who knows, maybe you did). Thanks for teaching us about all the most important things in life. Things like grills, steak, computers, steak, sports, tools... did we mention steak? Thanks for teaching us fun things to do in our spare time, like playing flying airplane games that may, or may not, result in serious rug burn. Thanks for teaching us how to say prayers and how to pray for all the right things. Thanks for not forgetting to pray for the fun things sometimes too. Thanks for being silly, Daddy - you're so much fun. Thanks for being a great example too. We hope to be just like you someday.

Love,
Dean and Eli
