Happy Father's Day

fa·ther

[fah-ther] Show IPA
–noun
1.a male parent.
2.a father-in-law, stepfather, or adoptive father.
3.any male ancestor, especially the founder of a race, family, or line; progenitor.
 
Those are the dictionary definitions, but the real definition of a father is far more in depth.  A lot goes into being a good father (to Nolan and Nathan and a great husband to Lindsay).  I, however, do not have the recipe and/or am not at liberty to share my secrets with you.
 
It's pretty eye-opening, though, now that I myself am a father.  I am not much of a "rah rah" holiday guy, but this one is pretty cool.  Seeing my little dude grow up, hit little milestones (like smile and punch me in the face) - they're pretty cool.
 
And I know my father had these moments with me as well, and that's pretty cool.  He did a great job and I'd like to think I'll do a great job too because I was raised with great parents who did a great job raising two awesome children (even though I have a bit of a mean streak as opposed to Jesse).  We're pretty awesome, not gonna try to humble-fy it.
 
Time to eat a little breakfast, I just wanted to pop on and say Happy Father's Day to everyone out there who is fortunate enough to celebrate this day, especially my old man. 
 
Enjoy your day!

Thank you for the FD greetings on my blog and I'm returning them. How awesome, your first Father's day as a Dad, woohoo! It's a special club, my brother and the best too! Being a father is one of the best parts of my life, bar none...

I hope you and the family have a wonderful and happy Day!
