just like dad.

when I saw a friend of mine post these red Converse on FB for sell,

I knew I had to snatch them up!

because Ellie wants to be just like her dad.

 

It started a couple of years ago

when Sadie bought Eric a pair of red Converse.

and then he got another pair the following year.

Now, that's all he has.

 

She won't even be able to wear these for too long,

but it didn't matter.

Just too sweet to pass up!

 

happy father's day!

for someone who never wanted children,

this little girl sure has you wrapped around her fingers.

 

you are wonderful, patient, kind-hearted

and the best papa bear we could ever imagine having.

thanks for being the glue to this family

and your willingness to pick up the same toy countless times.

 

we appreciate all that you do.

and I can't wait for ellie to come tell me the 1st time you tell her

"don't tell mom".

:)

 

 

for your 1st Father's Day,
Ellie picked out a new 49ers shirt
& a homemade ticket good for a game in the fall.
*They weren't on sale yet*

Even though you had to work all day,
we still hope your day was special
and you know how much we love you!

dad's girl.

i saw this quote online the other day.

and i don't think it could be more true for me.

when your dad walks in the room, your eyes light up.

when you are sitting in his lap, you just look up and stare at him.

 

he makes you bottles. and moves you from the piano to the bouncer to the couch when you are done with the former.

he walks you around and around the house when you are restless.

 

y'all are the best of friends.

it's too sweet.

 

i love you and your dad, sweet girl.

one year.
