Happy Father's Day, Thomas!

Top 10 Reasons Why Thomas is a Great Dad:

10) Anna: he does awesome magic tricks
      Jack:  he plays baseball with me
      Kara: he reads stories to us and loves us with all his heart
      Luke: coooooo

9) He takes no mercy during water gun fights (valuable life lessons to be learned here) 

8)  He does laundry, washes dishes, cleans, changes diapers, makes beds, sits through dance lessons (and yesterday's 3-hour recital--blog to follow), etc.   

7)  When we are out and want to make a quick stop, he will wait in the car and pretend he is Aba Juju Ba, (nationality unclear) and that the kids are trying to steal his "automobile".  They LOVE this game and it makes it so that I can do those quick errands without complaint.

6)  Even though he was (is) an impressive athlete, he doesn't pressure them into playing sports

5)  He plays silly games and doesn't mind acting foolish

4)  He instituted an instant reward for good deeds in our house that involves giving piggy-back rides up and down the stairs

3) He always stops whatever he is doing to read them books, complete with silly accents and voices

2)  He would rather be with his family then anywhere else; he willingly rushes home from work, forgoes golf and other activities that would take time away from us

1)  He loves them unconditionally and they know it!
