Happy Father's Day!

I feel a bit obligated to write something for Erik today, since he took the time to make a post about me for Mother's Day. He is far better at expressing feelings and is a much better writer than I,(I have the poems to prove it).
So I am going to resort to the cheesy writing styles of a gradeschool kid.
E is for Everything you do. You are the best dad. Everything you do is for your family. Whether it be working 2 jobs to support us and make sure we have what we need or taking the time to show your girls new stuff or teach them new things. The girls love going on dates with their daddy and would much rather spend time in the pet store with you than go to the zoo or some other fancy place.
R is for Respectful. You are an amazing husband and have treated me with the nothing but respect the 7 years we have been married (8 years together). I know I am not always the easiest person to get along with and have my moments that I am very difficult to even be around (ie...raging pregnancy hormones), but nonetheless you are very patient with me. I love you for that.
I is for Involved. You are involved in every aspect of our family's life down to the very minuscule details. You have taken girls to appointments, been there for talks in primary, and looked with amazement at every picture and drawing that has been hung on the fridge. And I know the girls haven't been in many activities yet, but I know you are looking forward to attending sporting events for them or even be willing to coach teams. You are a hero!
K is for Kisses. From butterfly kisses to princess kisses to the kissy monster, if the girls have invented a new kiss you have received it. We love attacking you with kisses. You are not scared of big open mouth slobbery kisses from Brylee and love soft gentle kisses from Dacia and Ashlyn. We love you.

You are a great dad and husband. You are a great example to our girls. I hope the girls find a husband just like their dad.
