Happy Father's Day



Let me brag a minute. This is father's day and I have something to crow about:

My Mark is the best daddy my kids could have. I love how happy he makes them, how he watches over them, cheers them on, plays with them, encourages them, helps them navigate the world, provides for them and prays for them. 15 years ago I did not envision this blessing. Mark, I am so glad we have you. Life is full of sparkles because you are who you are.

Today is also a good day for me because I am with my dad! He lives in England and I have not seen him since Annie was a baby. He is over in Dublin to visit us this weekend. Life is good.

  1. Lovely pictures - you have a beautiful family. Hope you are having a lovely time in Dublin, my daughter is going there next weekend to perform with her dance group. I am very envious as I have never been to Ireland. Have a great time with your dad x

  3. I love this post. I LOVE the pics. of Mark with the girls and boys. Your girls are gorgeous and the boys are handsome. That Annie has her own unique look. I was so taken aback by how grown-up she looks now. I love it. I also love that you're able to be with your dad today. A big "Happy Father's Day" to Mark from the DLC's. Love ya, girl.
