Father's Day

This one's for Brian. He's a great Dad(dy). He always says there's nothing better in the world than to hear a child guffawing (yep, that's the word he uses a lot). It's true. He really makes the kiddos laugh. He always talks about how he can't wait to take his kids fishing or hunting, or even to watch their first t-ball games. (Sorry kids, looks like you're playing t-ball whether you like it or not!) I can't wait to watch him watch them. There is something amazing about how much you love your children. Who can help it? They can be SO EXASPERATING (as I'm positive my parents felt about me), but you can't help but love them so much it hurts sometimes. Well, who can blame a girl for loving a guy who loves like that? That being said, I'm going to post some of my favorite pictures of Brian with his kids. Hope you enjoy! (I'll try to do it chronologically.)

Brian and Caitlin (a day old). He sure did like to hold her when she slept. (He must have been pretty comfortable because we have a lot of pictures of her sleeping on him!)

He sure loved to take pictures of his pretty little girl. ("She's alright, I guess.") He loves to say this with a big fat smile on his face.

This is us around week two of having a baby. I don't think that Brian knew how much being a family guy would fit him like a glove.

Here he is with the two girls he's raising, Abby and Caitlin.

I just threw this one in there to keep you all awake. {Really Brian, what were you thinking?}

Kid number 2. (I swear I have tons of pictures of Caitlin between these times, but I don't seem to have that many of Caitlin with Brian...at least not that I can find.)

I'm so glad he got a boy too. I know that he's always hoped to have one of each to make life complete. And we did, yeah!

I just love this picture~! I think you can really see how much Caitlin looks like her Daddy (and Cody looks JUST LIKE ME!) Hee, hee

Cody really enjoys his time with his Daddy (and seems to have taken a liking to Brian's ears).

This really shows how much fun Caitlin has with her Dad. She always wants him to play some made up game of his that involves tossing kids in the air, or making faces, or some such nonsense. Caitlin just eats it up, and Brian loves to hear her larger than life laughter.

You know Brian, technically Caitlin and Cody made you a father, but you were made to be a father long before they came along. Happy Father's Day!
