Happy Father's Day 2012

 

Happy Father's Day to the best dad in the whole entire world! :) We love you!

We're Here and so is Summer!

It's Michlyn...

I know that I rarely post anymore, but that's about to change. It's been a good 10 days since my mom or I have posted. We do have a few posts floating around in our heads (or at least I do) and we will be posting soon.

Our last day of school was May 24th, so Summer has arrived at our house! Superdad is being REALLY super this week, and decided to take the week off to finish up some projects! YAY!

Despite some car break-downs, unexpected illness, and rushing to soccer 4 nights a week we're hanging in there. Just like a blogger friend said. "Even after school is out, summer holds a different kind of crazy."

Thanks for stopping by, and still reading! We love comments from anyone!

Blessings,
~Michlyn

Man Up

You see that cool "Man Up" shirt?

My dad sports it well don't yah think? I was just thinking about this "Man Up" thing after I read a post on a blog that I follow. This is what she wrote:

In the midst of this beautiful mess, I am very aware that God has blessed me with a unique man for a husband. Let's face it, most men don't want the big, messy life we have. Most men want to save money for "toys" or vacations, not adoptions and missions trips. It is not typical for man to leave the comfort of the simple life in favor of the big messy. ~LARA (The Farmer's Wife)

You can see her blog here!

After she wrote it, I instantly thought of my dad. Of course he loves cars, motorcycles (has actually owned a couple before), four-wheelers, and snowmobiles. (probably his favorite) But he chose to put that stuff behind him, and look deeper. To seek God in a time that seemed impossible. I now have a little sister, that came home from the other side of the world.

It takes gut. A lot of it too. To stand up against what this world thinks is "important" or "needed". To go against other peoples' thoughts and remarks that can be so rude. To look to a God, who can do more than we can ever imagine... and say yes. Yes I want to follow you. Yes I want you to guide me. Yes I'm going to do what you want. Not what I want, or friends or other family want... But what You want me to do Lord.

He calls us to "Man up... Love and protect the fatherless".

And that is exactly what the best dad, and superhero of my life did.

LONG overdue... Happy Father's Day!

I think I've mentioned before how we had a few camera malfunctions. So we finally got our Father's day picture on our memory card. We had a wonderful Father's day, and celebrated in many ways. Went out to lunch, visited our Grandpas, and more!

Unfortunately today my dad has a migraine and has been in bed all day. Hopefully he'll be feeling better tomorrow, and can go to work. :-0

Since I made a list for my mom on Mother's Day about 10 things I loved about her, I'll do it for my dad too!

1. All the work you do

2. Your positive attitude

3. Your willingness to help others

4. How hard you work at your job

5. Your faith in Jesus Christ

6. All the things you've taught me

7. Your sense of humor :)

8. You're a great cook

9. You take time to spend time with us

10. Enjoying the things we have in common

WE LOVE YOU DAD!
