Daddy's Day

so, we went down south over the weekend to visit Quenton's family. It was interesting travelling with an 8 month old! She did pretty well on the way down, but we were an extra 2 hours coming back. We don't mind, though. It was nice to see family. Hazel has grown so much, and it was fun to see her interact with everyone. I can't believe how much she's grown, even over the last month. It seems like she was crawling, growing teeth, and mimicing in just over a weekend! My baby girl is growing out of her "baby-ness".....

Father's Day was nice. :) I didn't really do anything special for Quenton since we were with his family, but I did make him some waffels for breakfast and get him a funny card from Hazel and me. :) His orbital sander is coming soon..... What a great dad he is! I never thought he'd be less than amazing, but I can't get over how great he is with our little girl. She loves him! She gets happy and excited when he comes home from work, and they are so cute together when they play with her toys :) He would do anything for her, and I know that for a fact. I'm sure most dads would, but Quenton is one of the most selfless people I've ever met, and I know that family, especially Hazel and I, mean everything to him. He sacrifices so much for us, and has so much love for us. I can't wait to expand our little family soon. :)

Now for my own dad. What a great man he is. I don't even know where to start! He has gone through a lot in his life, good and not so good, and doesn't complain at all. He is my idol. He was never one to vocalize how much he loved us when we were growing up (at least not that I remember), but his actions spoke volumes. Talking to my mom now about different things that happened as I was growing up, I have even more admiration for this wonderful man. I'm sure I don't tell him enough that I love him. Not that he'll ever read my blog, but, I love you dad. xoxo

I love the men in my life. I'm so grateful for their influence, guidance, and love. I feel that this year is going to be full of even more changes than it already has been, some personal, some within our family. I can't wait for the move into our house, and the many opportunities to stretch and grow (because you know they're coming!). Life, this sweet life, is good.
