Oooh, oooh, oooh!!! I finally get to post pics of my dh w/our son Shay. I may post more tomorrow since I have something fun planned, but I am so glad I get to participate in this thread now.

These are daddy with Shay, (taken only days ago on our pick-up trip and then daddy with ALL his children (taken Wednesday, just moments after we arrived home w/Shay.) Our family is finally complete.

Daddy and Gabby. Other images were too large but Gabby's birthday was also my Father's Day celebration due to work. Check out her birthday slideshow on our blog. There are two slideshows with music so you will need to turn the sound off on the second one or both songs play at once.

Unfortunately I don't have any recent photos of DH and our children since he's on the other side of the world right now. We couldn't really get him any presents either, or cook him breakfast -- wouldn't be very good by the time it made it over there. So, the kids and I made our first video montage and posted it on our blog. I saw many of your videos and they were so wonderful I had to make one for DH too. Thanks for the inspiration.

As for all the beautiful photos on this thread -- gorgeous is all I can say. There's nothing so wonderful as the love a father has for his children.

Becki, I'm posting now after composing myself - your video montage was the most beautiful one I've ever seen! Your DH is going to be the proudest Dad around!!! God Bless You Chris for everything that you do for our country to keep us safe, you are already your families' hero, but now you're my hero too! Thank you and Happy Father's Day to you!

Becki, many, many Blessings and God Bless your beautiful family, your children are most precious angels!

Daddy of two

This is from our visit this month. Our Ryan keeps asking where his baby sister is. The wait is hard, but I see a very bright light at the end of the tunnel. We miss you Kali!!!

Four Generations

I am attempting to send my first picture. As a new, first time grandma (Abuela!) I just adore this image of my new grandson,Gabriel on his baptism day. He is surrounded by his dad, grandpa, and great grandpa! Happy Fathers Day to all generations of dads!
