I was out side earlier today, cleaning the coop. The 3 little ones were playing outside the coop and Madeline started wailing. You could tell she was really freaked out about something. All I heard was screaming, then "Ant," more screaming and "Gee." By the time I got there Gideon had plucked the poor little ant off of Madeline and Madeline was smiling. Crazy I tell you. But it was very sweet.
Since today is Father's Day I want to wish all the father's in my life a "Happy Father's Day." My dad died when I was two, so I didn't have a father in the sense that many people do. However, God blessed me with an uncle who loved me like a father and was always available to me. My Uncle John is the greatest guy ever and I am so thankful for him. Growing up God also gave me a pastor that I still love dearly to this day. Now, I also have a father in law and a step father that are wonderful and that I also love very much. Gesh, now that I think about it, I have some pretty wonderful grandfather's also. So you see, even though I didn't have a father in the normal sense, I feel like now I have been blessed beyond measure!
I of course need to wish my dear husband a "Happy Father's Day." He is the best dad ever. He loves our kids so much and it shows. He is attentive and gentle and I just love to watch them all together. You know, I have known Ryan for 20 years now and I hope it doesn't sound silly to say that "I am so proud of him." He has grown into an amazing provider and leader of our crew. I am so blessed to have him as the father of our children.
