Baby Daddys ** new post below**

Happy Fathers Day! Today I want to pay tribute to the fathers in my life. John has been such a great father in law. I truly enjoy my time with him. He is funny and complementary. My kids adore him and everyday my husband becomes more like him. I have missed him dearly this past year and a half. I would like to tell him I love him and I hope he would see this, but he avoids the computer.
Mr. Sculleybones, it has been a hard road for you and I. I have grown to love you and really enjoy spending time with you. I am grateful for the things you have made me own up to and learn. I am deeply sorry for the time I wasted being immature when I could have been cracking wise with you. I find it funny sometimes how much we really have in common. Things like a passionate love for talk radio and wildlife. You are an awesome grandfather. Every one of your 11 grandkids loves you. I am always touched at the time and energy you put into them. I hope that they make up for the grief we gave you. I love you.

I was so happy when I found this photo a few weeks back. The hats! The dresses! The boots! Can you tell how much we adore our dad? Recently at my LDS (local donut shop) I was chit chatting with my friend there that owns it. I had gone in with my mom. He asked how many siblings I had and I told him just us three girls. His wife laughed and said that they also had three girls. He showed me a picture and it was not unlike this one, besides the fact that they are Cambodian. Three girls, clearly in love with their dad. I know there is that old cliche of all girls being daddy's girls. I only believe slightly in that. It depends on the dad and we were given an exceptional one. My dad has always been fun to be with. I know that my sisters and I have always felt protective of him. We all have such different relationships with him. I know that we all want to be with him right now as he is grieving. Alex is there and I am so happy about that, but I would love to be there and try and make him laugh. Growing up my dad spent a lot of time with us. He knew our friends and who we liked. He helped with homework and attended our events. I have no complaints, I feel blessed that he was my dad and I love him so very much. I enjoy looking back at the old photos on this blog. It makes me remember just how much fun our family had together. Which leads me to my next favorite dad. Pete has been a great dad thus far. My only complaint is that he hasn't worked very hard on different hairstyles and he has yet to show up with a perm.
Of course we all know where the sun rises and sets. That would be on his beloved baby girl. There is just something about Pete and Olive. That is not to say that he isn't equally in love with our other kids. Hans is his guy and he is so encouraging in all his artistic endeavours.It is a difficult thing to have a step family and I think there are sometimes bumps along the way. But he loves Siobhan and Oscar just the same as Hans and Olive. The fact that Pete has worked so hard to get the kids here and take such care of us makes me love him even more. I know that it is a lot of work having four kids and I appreciate all the effort. Thank you for taking such good care of us. Thank you for cooking so often and helping to make sure we always eat together as a family every night. Thank you for all the fun places you take us and all the outings. Thank you for being my partner in raising such amazing, beautiful children. Thank you for your patience when the dress isn't right or there is one more picture that has to be drawn before bed. For "I need a ride" and "I need more lunch money" for "I don't know where the mouthwash went" and " please can we go to Short Stop" for the "mug" and for the messes. I love you so much and I cannot wait for our trip. Someday we'll be alone together for more than 5 minutes and I bet you we will miss it all, so thank you for making it possible for me to soak it all up now. I hope you have an awesome fathers day.
