A Good Daddy

Father's Day came and we had the chance to honor our dads.  We paid a special visit to Beau's dad, his stepdad, and to my dad.  They are great influences in our lives and the lives of our girls.  We appreciate all they do for each of us.

We also had the chance to honor Beau.  He seriously is a good daddy!  He loves his two girls so very much and it's sweet to watch how he loves, teaches, and plays with them.

The girls LOVED helping Beau open his gifts.  

We gave him a new iPod, some gloves, a BBQ tool and a game that we can all play as a family.

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again.  These girls love their daddy.  You should see the lit-up faces of these girls when their dad returns from work (or the tears in Evie's eyes if he is gone for a night).  Evie loves to be comforted by her daddy when she gets hurt and she loves to snuggle with him at bedtime.  Addie loves to be held by her daddy and loves it when he smiles and coos right along with her.  I am so grateful for adoption and that the birth moms of these girls craved the importance of giving their babies a stable two-parent home.  I KNOW that the lives of these girls are greatly enriched by having a stable, loving, caring, and supportive dad 24/7.  It has made such a difference in the lives of Evie and Addie.  I'm even more grateful that the dad that these girls have is Beau.  He is a true gem.
