Happy Father's Day Dave!


My children have a great Dad! They are so fortunate to have a father who is interested in what they do, and even though his work schedule doesn't allow him to attend every event they are involved in, he gives of his time as much as he can. Playing ball in the yard; wrestling on the floor; making up silly names for each other; and of course taking the boys fishing!




Each year we (or I at the beginning) make a photo book for Dave. It has as many pictures as I have of the boys and Dave, and then we make up a song to go with the pictures. The songs have been parodies of songs like Yankee Doodle, the Thomas Theme song, and now songs that Nathan picks. This year he wrote the song to the tune of "Love is Here" by Tenth Avenue North. The title is "Daddy's Here".




Daddy's here, Daddy's now, Daddy loves to play with us and we go fishing. Daddy's here, he loves us so. Daddy is always on our side, 'cause Daddy's here. Daddy's here, Daddy's now, Daddy loves us and we play ball. Daddy's here...he rocks! and we build stuff.

Don't try to sing it! But Dave loves his books and I hope he knows how much love we put into making them for him. He deserves to feel special on his special day!
