Daddy's girl

We spent the majority of Father's Day driving back from Yreka, so it may not have been Ryan's most exciting Father's Day, but it was definitely special because it was his first. Day by day, Kate is becoming more and more of a daddy's girl. Her favorite part of the day is when he comes home. It's almost so overwhelming to her that she freezes and just shakes her whole body for a few moments. Then a HUGE grin breaks out and she's off crawling to him as fast as she can. When she sees him from afar, she yells "DA" to get his attention. She did this in the church at Jason and Cyndi's wedding because he was standing at the front as the best man; he didn't turn around, which made her say "DA" even louder. I think she thought it was a massive game of peek-a-boo, and nothing delighted her more than when he walked back down the aisle toward her. She only had eyes for her daddy. Yesterday, she saw him outside mowing the lawn while she was eating dinner and I finally had to just take her out there so she could "talk" to him because her calling became so insistent! It all completely melts my heart. Kate and I are VERY lucky girls!!

Kate's Daddy still has that same gleam in his eyes in this pic as he did when he was Kate's age. Look out Bryn!!!
