Happy Fathers Day, Tommy!

Every year on Fathers Day, one of Tommy's gifts is a t-shirt with the kids' hand print on it. This year was no exception!
Maggie wanted to see how it all started, so we took a little trip down memory lane - here are a few of the shirts:

Katie was Tommy's girl, long before Maggie. Tommy is most definitely not an animal person, but he loved Kate as if she were his daughter. This was her paw print!

Maggie's hand print. (about 2 years old - can't find her first hand print)

Welcome to the family, Tim! Maggie's print here is at almost 6 years old and Tim was about 3 months old!

Todays hand prints at 14 and 9. Yep, they sure have grown! This year they added Charlie's paw print.

My family!

Tommy, we love and appreciate you more than we can tell or show you. We are grateful to be yours eternally, and we all thank our Heavenly Father daily for blessing us with such a strong, hard working, worthy, Priesthood holder. We miss you each day when you leave for work and are glad to have you return home to us at night. We appreciate that you get up at 4:30 each day and work until you can work no more, all for the benefit of our family and we are amazed that you typically do it with a smile on your face. We realize that you must be the most tolerant person alive to put up with us! You are a kind man. You are a generous man. You are a patient man. You are an honorable man. Your integrity is inspiring. I pray that Tim will be - and that Maggie will find - a man as great as you. We love you so much - me and the kids
