Father's Day 2016

I couldn't have picked anyone more perfect for me or my kids! Spence is our rock- always cool, calm, and collected. He has a gift for being able to make everything all better. Thanks babe for being just what we always need!

Just a couple things I never want my kids to forget about their dad:
* He takes them on individual dates every month. Madi just blogged about her most recent date with Spencer - a day at Disneyland - just the two of them. Spencer had challenged her to perfect Canon in D on the piano with a trip to Disneyland as a reward and she rose to the challenge.
* Not all dates are as extravagant as Disneyland - most are a trip to Rolling Pin or errands with ice cream or some other treat at the end.
* He tells the best bedtime stories.
* He's super creative and talented in music and the arts. Dad's a great resource to have around when it comes to school projects and book reports!
* He's an awesome cook and is probably one of the only people who can get our kids to try new things (he's a firm pusher, not a softy like their mother).
* He's always up for fun - "tackle wrestle time" is a nightly ritual for daddy and Calvin, "talking pillow" for daddy and Elle.

The girls wrote sweet letters and gave to Spence Sunday morning . . .

Madi made a cute coupon book with stuff like a 10 min foot massage, 10 min head rub, a delicious breakfast, fold all your clothes, and get along with my siblings for 2 days (now that's a coupon I want to cash in)!!

Elle liked Madi's idea and included some "things to do for dad" on the back of her letter:
