Dads, Heros and Loves

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.

- Sigmund Freud

Daddy:
a son's first hero
a daughter's first love

He is also MY hero and the love of MY life. 

I knew that I loved him before, but it was nothing like the way I love him as I see him as a father to my precious baby girl. And oh how excited and humbled I am for a little boy who will have such an incredible example to look up to and learn from.

These precious little souls are so lucky to get YOU!!

I love you!!

And to my own daddy...

A dad is someone who

wants to catch you before you fall

but instead picks you up,

brushes you off,

and lets you try again. 

A dad is someone who

wants to keep you from making mistakes

but instead lets you find your own way,

even though his heart breaks in silence

when you get hurt. 

A dad is someone who

holds you when you cry,

scolds you when you break the rules,

shines with pride when you succeed,

and has faith in you even when you fail...

Not only has he been the best dad and one of the greatest influences in my life, but he is the best papa in the world! Not only does he love and watch over my littlemiss.... but he also loves and watches over all of her babies and loves. Sweet, pure love!

Happy Father's Day!!

Kindermusik

I have gotten a bit behind on posts and have so many things to catch up on.... the first of which is KINDERMUSIK!

We successfully completed our first year and loved every single minute of it! 

It was so fun to see Leah progress and get more comfortable in this kind of environment. When we started, she was a little 10 month old that didn't know what to think and seemed a bit overwhelmed, but by the time we finished the year, she was an active 19 month old... running around the room, dancing, playing and loving it all!!

And here they are on the last day... ALL smiles and ALL grown up! Love these two!

Leah and the amazing Miss Anna! We couldn't possibly love her any more!!
