Happy Father's Day and Happy Anniversary

What a special day. Today is Father's Day and is also our sixth wedding anniversary! What better way to celebrate your husband than to celebrate him as both husband and father! And that is what we have done today.

We spent the weekend in Martin so that we could visit with and celebrate our "family fathers"! We began the day visiting with both of our dads, allowing Lawson to be with both grandfathers, Daddy Bell and Granddad. We had the opportunity to celebrate with both of them this weekend... we went out to dinner last night with my dad, Julie Anne, Mama B, and Daddy Denton to the Country Corner in Dresden and then we had lunch with Mr. Richard, Mrs. Jane, and Granny today at Boyette's at Reelfoot Lake. We were also at Grandmother and Granddaddy's yesterday morning after breakfast to play and visit, which was a lot of fun!

We ended the day here at home... Lawson gave Russ his Father's day gift, a little gift bag full of goodies from school and a new self-propelled lawn mower. I am not sure who loves it more - Lawson or Russ. : ) Lawson doesn't realize the work that lies ahead in about 12 years. : )

Husbands and fathers have a very special role in the family household. Russ does a fabulous job in both departments and I am very thankful and proud to be his wife and am so happy that he is fathering our children. Russ loves me and Lawson very much. His heart is precious and extremely unselfish, placing us before himself. He is very patient and calm and isn't easily angered. He works hard at his job to provide for our family, but does a fabulous job of balancing "life" and "work". He is very helpful around the house, often causing me to feel guilty for not having done something that he is doing, but he is always happy to help and never complains. He can fix and do anything, is one heck of a clothes-folder, and can take care of a lawn like no one I know. And most importantly, he is a Christian man who loves our God and serves Him each day, setting a wonderful example for our son and the world around us. I love you, Russ, and look forward to the wonderful times ahead; you are the best! Happy Anniversary, Russ, and Happy Father's Day to Russ and both of our fathers and grandfathers! We love you.
