200th Post

Just because people make a big deal out of 200th posts and 1000th comment kind of stuff, I thought I would at least make mine straight form the heart. This one is for Jalena Carlisle. This post is for you to look back on and have all sorts of amazing memories flash before you! This was a picture that you drew when it was Dad's Day at your Pre-K class.). And the wings below are what you and Daddy made together and he wore them the whole next day while he worked. You have the most amazing Dad and I know there might be times when you think he is being too hard on you, or not understanding of you, but I need you to know that above all he loves you, and he only wants the best for you. (I know every parent says that:) I also know that you will look back on little things, when maybe you are a parent yourself, that Dad does that most Dad's don't.....he brushes your hair and tries to put it in ponies. He went to your gymnastics this morning instead of work because he just wanted to smile. He tucks you in every night. He absolutely glows when he talks about you (the list goes on forever). He has been active in your life in EVERY way that I have from day 1. For many families there are defined roles of each parent, but with us those lines are very blurred. He is a modern Dad, that is so hands on and I know you are going to have many amazing memories of your own to tell about him! We love you.
By the way...you taught yourself to mirror-write your name. That's pretty cool.
