In Good Company

Dear Daddy,

Happy Father's Day! Thank you for working hard for our family and for being our greatest friend.

When remembering Father's Day 2010, Mom will remember how excited she was to skype with you this afternoon. We think she even let out an awkward giggle when she heard your voice. Eliza enjoyed watching you open the present she left for you.

"It's a plate!" She kept telling you. In case you couldn't tell. We thought her camp fire drawing and picture of your garden (on said plate) was entirely appropriate! Henry sang "Child of God" for you as he drummed on the mason jar lids and lit up with happiness when you showed him the fish tank.

Church was likewise memorable. Eliza joined a primary choir of children, she'd never met, up on the stand for the musical number. She smiled brightly as she waited for the music to begin. 35 seconds later she dramatically placed a hand on her cheek, raced down the steps and announced (during the musical number) that she didn't remember the words to that song.

And while we miss you dearly, please know that we've been in the best of hands during our time apart.
We were pretty lucky to spend the holiday with our wonderful grandfathers.

Even with all of their love and attention (and trust us, it's sure been abundant), you were on our mind all day.

Love

Eliza, Henry & Baby

P.S. Don't mind Mom's leggings. She has a hard time seeing what's going on past that belly of hers.
