I hope Josh had a great Father's Day. Saturday night we went to Wood n' Strings Dulcimer Shop which is one of his favorite places in Townsend and we watched some live music which as most people know is his favorite thing to do. It was really great, they had a little stage area and the Little River was right behind them plus they were selling homemade ice cream.

Otherwise nothing too exciting going on here. We will be home this week and plan on relaxing. Here are some new pictures of Rylee from over the weekend and today.

Happy Father's Day

Father's Day is coming up this weekend and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it than in the Smoky Mountains again watching baseball/softball games, eating nachos, and enjoying the beautiful scenery with the kids. After the weekend is over I'll post some pictures. I'm very excited to give Josh his first Father's Day present from me and Rylee, it has to stay a suprise for now! Josh is such an amazing father and I was so excited about his gift, I really hope he loves it as much as I loved getting it for him. Rylee just lights up in smiles and giggles whenever Dada enters the room, she always knows that when he walks by her she is going to get tickled, hugged, or that something special is going to happen. Josh is a giver, he goes out of his way in every way he can to make sure the kids and I are happy and I'm just happy that there is a day that I can give my appreciation to the amazing father I know he is and for how much he constantly does for us. As his wife I know that I am probably the most aware of what he does and how much goes into it all, he is truly unselfish. Rylee and I are so very lucky to have him, and we just want him to know HOW VERY MUCH we appreciate him. A parent is not only a parent, they are their child's teacher and I know Rylee will learn many great things from Josh for he not only talks like so many people do but leads by example.

And of course some new pictures of Rylee, I know that's why you are here.
