Fathers Be Good To Your Daughters....

"....daughters will love like you do."



John Mayer is not really a person that I look up to or want to emulate. But, the lyrics to his song are so, so true! I have such an incredible dad who has loved me unconditionally and has shown his love in uncountable ways. I could not have requested a better dad. Because of my heavenly Father's love, and my dad's love, I have never really battled with self-esteem problems, and I have felt free to love others. In fact, Matt tells me all the time how much I am like my dad, and I consider that such a compliment.

So, thank you, dad, and Happy Father's Day! We Love You!



Now that I have a daughter and another one on the way, I am even more grateful for the man that Matt is. There is nothing better than watching Matt with Maggie. Just to see him so sweetly kiss her, cuddle her, and tell her he loves her! And, even more touching is to see him pray with her, for her, and to consider her always as he leads our family. We are so blessed, and one day Maggie and Kerri Grace will be able to love just like their sweet daddy loves.

Happy Father's Day, Matthew! We love you!



Even thought Matt is not a daughter, I do want to point out that he has one amazing dad himself! We are especially thankful for Mr. Gaymon this year. It has been a scary few weeks, and it makes you realize how important your dad really is when he is fighting for his life. Matt's dad has loved him and raised him to be a man who pursues Godliness. I am so thankful for the example he has set.

Happy Father's Day, Mr. Gaymon! We love you!

Here are some pictures from our Father's Day Weekend:
