Happy Father's Day!

Dear Dad,

You are neat.  Thanks for packing snacks for us on Sunday morning for church, when we are running late.  If it wasn't for you, we'd starve.

I think it's really sweet that when you accidentally hurt me (Elena), you try to distract the pain through flips and tickles.  Nice try.  But try hugging me and saying your sorry.  Really though, nice try.

It's really fun to go hiking and biking with you.  Thanks for that.

And thanks for cooking when Mom gets lazy.  And thanks for cleaning when Mom gets lazy. 

You really must like kids, since you keep telling Mom that you want 10 of us.  But if you keep saying that, Mom's gonna have a heart attack, and we want her around.

You and mom often disagree about parenting us kids. It's not entirely your fault, as we often like to throw curve balls at you.  Despite all that, we know that you are trying. There is no doubt that you care.

Love,
Your kids
