Father's Day!

We did not take one single photo yesterday for Father's Day. Shocking I know! But thought I would share two older layouts.

One of the first I made of Mike with Evan when he first became a dad ten years ago :)
And here is one from when Erin was born almost five years ago.  :)

And a few of my favorite photos of Mike from this past year.
Hanging out in Toronto before going to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Always willing to scoop up Erin and hold her even after coming back from a run and being completely tired.
Always willing to pose for a family photo. Last July at our annual brunch.

Making sure that the kids can not only talk to him, but see him as well when he's gone for days at a time for work! And let me just say, it really makes a difference!
Willing to stay up late building a gigantic Hogwarts castle for Evan's Trunk or Treat at school, plus wearing the Dumbledore costume!
I have said it before and I will say it again.
Mike, you are a great dad. And we are so lucky to have you! xxoo

  1. Such a wonderful tribute to your hubby, Mary Jo! I'd say a layout featuring these photos could be in the works. :)
