happy father's day

we had a great time celebrating fathers our first full day in mexico!
the hotel next to our condo had a father's day brunch special...basically all dad's were FREE!
elle enjoyed her first harp playing experience and of course her first walk in the ocean with daddy.

thank you josh for being an amazing father to our little girl.
she is so blessed to have a daddy like you. you make her laugh to wipe away the tears and snuggle in tight just to make her squirm. all day she says "dadda" and runs to greet you each day after work. she loves your playful side but knows you'll always protect her.

it has been fun to see you quickly step into the father role and yes you are protective...someday she'll learn to appreciate it. i can't wait to see you with a little boy.

happy father's day to the 2 dads

josh's dad has a soft spot for elle. we could be busy trying to board a plane and still he's trying to make her smile. he is a father who challenges and someone josh strives to become. he loves to teach and serve others - thankfully josh picked up a lot that his father taught while growing up. i.e. all our house projects that can be done for free. thank you for loving our little girl and challenging us to be better.

we have been blessed with 2 of our very own wonderful dads who have had the chance to share in our joy of raising ellington.

my entire family would all agree i'm am for sure a daddy's girl (which i am sure ellington will be). we'd have our coffee in the morning together which he now enjoys with his grandkids (garrett) and it wouldn't be a saturday if dad didn't come get me from bed for "carrybus" down to breakfast. in high school dad was the one who made the high energy oatmeal for me for race days...i'm sure it helped!! none the less my dad is quiet but has a servant's heart and is full of love for everyone in our family, especially the little ones.

thank you dads for all your love and support
we love you!
