Father's Day 2011

Dear Lance,

I found a poem that puts into words exactly how wonderful you are and how blessed our family is to have you as our leader.  We love you so much and never take for granted how much you do for our family.

Love,

Ronni, Brady and Laney

The Best Man I Ever Knew

When we married, I saw you as perfect,
The ideal husband and more;

I thought I knew all about you,

All the things to love and adore.

But when you became a father,

I saw new qualities to treasure.

You enrich all our lives in fresh ways;

As a dad, you bring so much pleasure.

Our children are forever blessed

To have a father like you,

And I love you more than ever,

You’re the best man I ever knew.

We were blessed to have my sister, brother-in-law and nephew in town for Father's Day this year.  After church, we came home and got some good pictures.  For some reason, I like the ones that show us getting ready for the picture the most - I guess because that is my reality. 

This picture perfectly captures what it is like to get 5 people (3 of which are kids) to look at a camera and smile all at once.

What a WONDERFUL picture!
