Father's Day!

What a great time to honor Dads!

This was our first Father's Day with Ethan; and a joyous one at that.

Steve is a great father, and below you will see a small small glimpse into this wonderful man's life and why he is highly esteemed in our home...

He enjoys every moment playing with Ethan!

I tried to catch a quick one! They both like hammers!

Ethan lying on Steve's shoulder, and Steve trying to hold REAL STILL so the moments will last as long as possible!

Sweet sweet!

Steve playing with Ethan's new toys and showing him how to work a wrench, nuts, bolts, and screws!

HA!

Steve willing to love anyone's kiddos!

We enjoyed an evening with two of our favorite little girls!

Ethan, your father is amazing, and I want you to be like him someday!

Steve; you are a man of all men and absolutely a wonderful husband, father, friend to me and others, and so much more that words cannot describe!

I am so blessed to spend my life with this man!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY STEVE, papa Ed, Grandpa Chamberlin, and my daddy!
