Happy Father's Day!

This one was a little extra special because it's Mike's first "unofficial" Father's Day to our little bean. I got him a book: "The Dudes Guide to Pregnancy". It looks hilarious. Whether he'll have finished it by the time the baby gets here is another story. He jokingly remarked today, "Well, I'll have it read by the time baby #2 gets here!". LOL, he really hates reading and I'm not going to force him but I thought it would be cool. Maybe if I would have cut out the pages, drew comic-like figures and grouped the pages into mini books of 25 pages each I might have had more luck?!
I got to thinking today about how much I admire my Dad for being such a great father to us, all three daughters have a unique relationship with him and I really hope to mirror the way he and my mom raised us. I'm so fortunate to have them.
I also took some time to reflect on both of my grandpa's who have passed on as well as Mike's dad. I think about friends and family who have lost loved ones this year and it makes me appreciate my family and friends even more.
I'm excited that this time next year, Mike will be a "real" daddy and I just know that he's going to be a great one. I can't wait.
Here's to all the poppas out there, soon-to-be or otherwise, Happy Father's Day!!
