Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing fathers, in-laws, and grandpa's in my life!

...

And an especially Happy one to this one....

This week on the Oilo blog that I write for...I wrote a post in honor of Father's Day.

Here's what I wrote.

The Perfect Timing of Dads

Every day at our home, when 5:15 pm rolls around, we hear the blessed sound of the garage door opening. An instant energy fills the house with the first creak of the door. These are the sounds that say DAD IS HOME! It’s not that we haven’t enjoyed our prior daytime activities… but there’s just something about having Dad home that makes everything so much better. Not only is it another set of helping hands… but it’s more fun…more laughter….more excitement. It’s indulging in exhilarating activities that I find myself much too uptight to do…like digging in the dirt…and using all the couch pillows to make a fort. A breath of fresh air. That’s 5:15.

... ..... My hope is that this Father’s Day, in the midst of tools, ties, and gadgets galore…I can at least give our dad that 5:15 feeling that he makes possible for us to experience every single day.

...

Here’s wishing you luck in your efforts in finding the perfect Father’s Day gifts for the dad’s in your life… and a very Happy Father’s Day to all of the wonderful Dad’s in the world!

...

There it is. And it is the truth.

... We love you Brett!

...
... Thanks for taking care of us... like only you can.
We love you!

Oh,the blessed sound of the garage door opening around 6:00. It is so true that dads just make it all better. Especially when you are a mother to boys. There is only so much shopping and lunch at Nordies the rug rats can take. They need man time for sure! Such darling pictures. Happy Father's Day! See you later today.
