Happy Father’s Day to the best soon-to-be Daddy in the world!

Joe, you are going to be the best dad ever. You already take such good care of me and Smudge. You’ve loved Smudge deeply ever since the day that we got our positive pregnancy test, and you show it every day. I love how you pray for all of us, and especially for Smudge to continue to grow well; how you put your hand on my belly and poke around to make her dance; and how you pull out the doppler and ask if we can listen to her heartbeat.

I can’t wait until you are able to feel her moving and until the day she is born and you hold her for the first time. I can’t wait to see you taking care of her, playing with her and teaching her. You’re going to be an amazing dad.

We love you very, very much.

Love,
Cady and Lucy

And, of course, Happy Father’s Day to my awesome dad.

My dad’s always been there for me and has always been so supportive. One of my favorite memories is of him reading to me early in the morning at our vacation house in Virginia. Those were always our times, and I hope Lucy will have special memories like that with her dad. My dad is also a fantastic grandpa, and I can’t wait to see him with Lucy. I love you, Dad! Happy Father’s Day!
