Happy SuperDad Day!

Father's Day Backyard Wiffleball Game

Our dear Scott is SuperDad in many ways. On this Father's Day, let us share a few stories...

Scott has traveled a lot for work this past winter & spring. He's been gone for 2-3 weeks at a time on several occasions. The boys were troopers and braved the time with Dad gone, but it is obvious there's a big gap in our family when he's not here. These long work trips have made us really appreciate Dad even more and all he does for our family. Fingers crossed the next 6 months will bring fewer work travels and more "dad time" at home!

One Friday afternoon, Scott left work early and came home to surprise Luke & Reid with a trip to our new laser tag place. The boys had been talking non-stop about wanting to go. You know how excited kids are on Christmas? Bottle up that emotion, and that's exactly how excited the boys were on that afternoon! When the trio returned home, Reid exclaimed, "That was the best time ever!" 

Scott has always been a big fan of baseball, and it's wonderful to watch him share the love of the game with the boys. He's on his 3rd year of coaching Luke's baseball team and will coach Reid's team next year. One of our favorite summer activities is spending time outside playing catch or practicing batting with our little rookies!

And finally, I couldn't ask for a more amazing husband & father. He is always willing to fly solo with the boys if I have a meeting or evening plans. He is a force to be reckoned with in the world of laundry ... folding and putting away the mountains of clean clothes that can accumulate. It is wonderful to have an in-house I/T guy to help with my random computer questions & fiddle with our sometimes complicated TV system. He plays soccer every week, mountain bikes, runs a sub 6 minute mile, and is a pogo stick champ. Don't believe me on that last one? See for yourself.


Happy Father's Day!
