The Dopp Dad


He drove the jr. high carpool every Tuesday morning this year.
He talks to the dog, even though he claims to hate her.
He keeps his office, car, side of the closet, TV room and basement spotless. 
He could have gone by himself to Park City for Fathers' Day, but he wanted to stay here so the kids could bring him breakfast in bed.
He grilled 5 different kinds of meat for 30 people today.
He takes the kids out to lunch.
He does all the school shopping.
He does diagonal lines in the grass when he mows.
He supports the kids in their endeavors.
He says funny things.
He played the Admiral in the Sound of Music and we all discovered a skill we didn't know he had!
He plays catch with Freestone.
He dresses Ptolemy in adorable outfits.
He knows all the kids' favorite colors.
He is capable of picking up a ballet carpool of 4 second graders and knows where they all live.
He wears linen.
He rocks a suit and tie.
He puts books on hold at the library for me before they even come out.
He respects our parents.
He has a lot of willpower and self-discipline.
He knows Fathers' Day is going to be about the kids and he doesn't mind.

He loves being a dad.

He provided the coolest, most outrageous paisley shirt to represent himself in our Primary Father's Day spotlight.
