This is the Dad



This is the dad who took Golda and her friends shopping for her birthday yesterday.
This is the dad who got choked up reading Fathers' Day cards from his kids.
This is the dad who did ballet pickup approximately 150 times this year.
The dad who searches for the perfect gift, worries about his kids, checks them out of school for special lunches, knows everything about their thoughts and provides for all their needs. This dad blesses his children with his Priesthood, reassures them with his understanding, teaches them empathy and compassion and occasionally shoots them in the eye with a Nerf gun. He's not 100% perfect, but he's as close as you'd want a dad to be. If he were any more perfect, he'd probably be annoying. We'll take him exactly as he is! I love this guy!

I love that he was choked up over his Father's Day cards. Your kids are lucky to have two wonderful parents!

Scott is one of the wiser men I know. He seems to understand that childhood is very fleeting and you get only one shot at it.. so you might as well enjoy it! :)
