The other day I mentioned the gift Mom and I made for Dad on Father’s Day. I finally found time to put it online. You’d be amazed how busy you can get with eating, sleeping, slobbering and general baby revelry.

Hi, Daddy.
Mommy and I think you’re TERRIFIC!! You are the best Dad in the world, so we wanted to make you something special for Dad’s Day.

I often scratch my head when I consider how AWESOME you are, Daddy-O. How do you manage to be so great all the time?

I really LOOK UP TO YOU a lot. Mommy says that you’ll teach me how to be a GREAT MAN as I get older. There are many things I CAN’T WAIT to do with you.

I’m ENAMORED by technology. I hear you have mad TECH SKILLZ. I look forward to playing games with you on the computer. Can you teach me to calculate a mortgage payment, too?

I’ll soon be big enough play in the yard and roll in the grass. I want to chase you and rough house with you, Daddy. (right now, I still don’t care much for the sun!)

Mommy tells me you understand and follow God’s Word. Will you help me grasp John 3:30?

If you can help me CHEW ON GOD’S WORD I’d greatly appreciate it!

Scripture is tough for a little guy like me. It’s complex and scary stuff, Dad. It makes me feel better to know you’ll help me understand what God wants from me & explain how to live it out.

I’m JAZZED about playing catch and going to ball games with you, Dad. Mom even let me wear this stinking cool CARDINAL jersey in your honor.

As you can tell by the picture, I’m ECSTATIC about playing games with you!

Daddy + Games + Jack Man = Fun + Smiles

But remeber… I may try to get in the LAST WORD during the Father-Son competitions. *I’ll try not to make you look bad, old man!

I suspect that hanging out in the Jr. High minister’s office may be one of my FAVORITE things to do.

I love pretending to be you in this big, comfy, leather work chair. I want to be just like you someday, Daddy.

Thanks for taking such good care of Mommy and I, Papa Bear. You always play it cool, but we know it takes a lot of work and intentional effort to provide for and lead our family so well. You just make it look easy.

Maybe you can teach me to PREACH A GOOD SERMON when I’m older… or at least eat gross things like all great jr. high ministers do.

I really LOVE this microphone… and YOU!!

In fact… I’d choose to be in your group any time!

I appreciate the way you help people in need. I’m sure I’ll appreciate that even more as I get older and am able to serve with you.

Just Add JACK!!

I also greatly anticipate the day we can go to the park and play on the playground TOGETHER!

…when I’m better able to stay awake. 🙂

There just aren’t enough words, pages or pictures to describe how I feel about you, Daddy. You’re a great guy and a fantastic father. I couldn’t ask for more and our future together is bright.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DADDY!
Love,
Mommy and Your Little Man
