Happy Fathers Day to Me?

"Mike's Crew"

This was the verse in his Father's Day Card.....

A father is called to do many things -

scare away monsters, fix a broken toy, be a coach

or a counselor...

But the most important thing a father is called to do

is to love with all his heart

as if the fate of the world depended on it....

because it does.

"Happy Father's Day to Me?

That is the statement of the day today as we were explaining (or trying to) their first Father's Day.

Eli is excitedly nodding, which looking back I should have probably gotten a clue that the explanation wasn't sinking in. So after the kids had all signed their cards for Dad, I brought out his gift and told Lucas to go get Dad.

All was well through the card portion of the gift giving until, that is, we had to explain that Eli and Lucas weren't the one receiving the gift.

Eli, as straight faced and serious as could be, says, "No it's MY father's day, daddy is my father!" Okay......yep......ummm. He also went on to tell us that Mike is his now. From the picture you can tell Eli got to inspect the gift but it will probably be a few years before we (I) trust him using it.
