Daddy’s Little Girl

When Spence and I found out we were having our first little baby, the very first thing Spence said was “We are having a little girl, aren’t we.” He knew from the get go that he was going to have a little girl call him daddy. One thing I don’t think he knew though was how quickly his adorable little girl could have him wrapped around her finger.

I’ve always been a daddy’s girl myself, so the bar was set pretty high for what I expected of a daddy. I know what it means to have a dad who wants to give you the world and thinks you’re about the greatest thing ever. A dad who will instill in his daughter that she can do anything she sets her mind to. A dad that wouldn’t trade having a girl for anything in the world.

And so does Brynlee.

So, to my dad, I wish you a Happy Father’s Day. Thanks for setting the bar high.

And, to Spencer on Father’s Day, watching the way you love Brynlee makes me love you that much more. The way you will crawl in the play land at McDonalds just ‘cause she wants you to. The way you drop everything you are doing to read her a book (never with the right words) or push her on the swing. The way she runs to you when you get home from work. The way you smile when she says the prayer at dinner. The way you hug her when she’s had a bad day. She is blessed to have you as her daddy and I am blessed to have you as a husband.

Happy Fathers Day. We love you!
