Daddy...

Today is Ryan's first day back to work after a week of spring vacation.  We LOVE having daddy home with us.  Simply said, Ryan is the most beautiful, loving husband and father.

Collin adores his daddy.  He always asks about him when daddy is at work.  Collin just loves to have daddy home.  I so enjoy watching my boys play together.  Collin literally squeals with laughter when he plays with his daddy.  Daddy lets Collin do things that I normally wouldn't allow (throw balls in the house, jump on the bed, climb things...you get the picture) but I know that when Collin is grown he will remember those times with his daddy and I am sure he will be doing those same things with his little one(s).  Ryan can fix anything.  It always completely amazes me that he knows how to do all that he does, I love that about him.  Collin tries to be a "worker" just like Ryan.  

I pray Collin grows to be a man just like his daddy...

I love to watch Ryan with Madelyn.  She brings out this gentleness about him and I just love to watch him love on her.  He is so sweet with her.  He gets such a kick out her always commenting that "she is hilarious".  I pray that the two will have years upon years of laughter together.  I am so thankful that Ryan is the man responsible for showing our Madelyn what a father and a husband should be.  I pray that when she is grown she will marry a man like her daddy...

I am blessed to have Ryan for my husband.  He knows me better than anyone.  Everyday Ryan tells me I am beautiful.  He will do whatever I ask of him.  He doesn't complain.  He is completely selfless, he would give up anything to make sure we are taken care of.  He would do anything to make us happy.  I am sure there are too many times that I take him for granted. I want you to know Ryan, that you are everything I prayed for in a husband.  There is no one else on earth that I would rather share my life with.  I am so blessed that you are the man my children call daddy...

We love you!
