Well, it has been a minute since I last created a post. This was an opportunity that I couldn't let pass. This is what Dad is thankful for:
- I am thankful that I have the most perfect, beautiful little girl ever. Everywhere that we go, people comment on how cute and adorable she is. I know she is mine and I am biased but she is the prettiest baby I have ever seen. I know Rylee is destined for greatness, I just don't know at what. Yet.
No matter what happens at work or how I play tennis, when I come home and Rylee gets excited to see me or gives me a kiss when I ask, nothing else matters at that point. - Mostly, I am thankful that Rylee has the perfect Mom. There are a lot of moms that read this blog and I am in no way dissing any of you but my wife is the best at it. She is completely selfless when it comes to caring for our daughter. Every decision that Erin has made about raising Rylee was done with a ton of research and discussion with Dad. She always does what is best for Rylee (even when it goes against what Grammie, Nana and others think).
She truly loves being a Mom and it shows. The best parts of Erin's day is when Rylee wakes up. - I'm thankful for all of the people that Rylee has in her life that love her so much. It is a long list and I hope I don't leave anyone off it. Her Nana, Grammie and Grandpa and Great Gram Rose. Her Aunts; Judy, Nancy, Bess, Lydia, Ashley and Amanda. Her Uncles; Phil, Dave, Brian, Paul, Jeff, Tim and Brad. Her Great Aunts; Patrice and Janine (long distance). Her cousins; Austin, Jaden, Megan, Alyssa, Josh, Kayla, Nicole, Alexa, Dena, Tiff and Mason. and her work family; Vicky, Kelley, J, Jen, Josh, Briana, Maria, Bob and Uncle B. And I almost forgot, her furry brothers; Hops and Bock who provide hours of entertainment for the little girl.
They say it takes a village, and that is a village right there. Thank you all for the love and support that you give to Erin, Rylee and myself. It means the world.
I am a very lucky guy. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and holiday season.
Merle, you know how easily I cry - well I was almost sobbing when I read your post. You are an incredible father and I am so thrilled that Erin came into your life, you married and started a family. You really are blessed and it is so great to read that how you feel. I wish we lived closer so we could see you more often but it is so great that Erin keeps up this blog so I can keep up. And it was nice that you posted this one. See you Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. Love, Aunt Janine
