Happy Father's Day...

This year for Father's day we decided to go down to Italy, which is great for Etienne (and us), but not so great for my dad since we won't get to talk.  So this is a special post to you dad.  

So I told Siena we weren't going to be able to talk to you for a couple weeks, as well as for Father's day.  This is how she took it....

 

I am so grateful for the relationship you have with my kids.  They love to be around you.  Perhaps its due to the small difference in maturity levels, or because they can so easily understand your sense of humor, but I think its probably just because you're ridiculously fun.  


It is so fun to see the things the kids have inherited from you...

  I am sad you won't be able to meet Mabel for a while, but I hope that we will be able to make up for it in the upcoming years.  


I am so grateful that I get to know you in this life and am even more grateful that I get to be your daughter.  Thanks for all you do for me, for us.  Thanks for all you continue to teach me.  Thanks for the greatest gift you may have ever given me besides my life--your example.  I love you so much Dad.  Have a great Father's Day.

Oh and Siena told me to tell you that we'll call you when we get back.
