father's day

i told sam that he was exempt from all diaper duties today, and that he should go take a nap and be free of all parker responsibilities while he relaxed.

his response is exactly why he is an amazing father. he said, "i don't think that's the point of father's day. it's not a day for you to stop being a dad."

i am such a lucky girl to have the most amazing men in my life.


my dad has always done (and still does) whatever it takes to provide for his family, and always made sure we weren't lacking for anything.

he's always supported me in anything i put my mind to, and i can't recall a single time when i was told i couldn't do something. whether it was a new instrument, a new dog, a new sport, a new major, whatever... my parents made it work.

thank you dad. for everything.


and lastly, this photo. i love it because it captures the moment that my best friend, my husband, became a dad. this moment has changed everything and for that, i am grateful.

happy father's day.
