An early Father's Day shout-out

Since I'll be in Cali this weekend... a little tribute to my Papa Bear. Top 10 Reasons he's the best (there are many more, I just had to choose ten!):
1. He is in a house full of women. All the time. Even our dog was a girl, and he handles it so well.

2. He used to let me put barrettes in his hair.
3. He took me down to Murray Park to teach me how to ride my bike with the super sweet pink seat.
4. He has always worked hard to take care of us girls. And never complained.
5. He loves good beer. Just like his daughter.
6. He used to do the Donald Duck voice for me all time just to make me laugh. It would work every stinkin time.
7. He used to read books to me using the coolest voices. Sure, sometimes I wanted him to get on with the story, but it was hilarious. And he'd lick his finger about 50 times before turning the page cause he knew the suspense was killing me.
8. He knows when to let go of old clothes (or when we pry them from his grip). He hasn't even worn the velour 70s shirts in a while! Check out those shades. That man is stylish.
9. He likes to think that he's tough on boyfriends (casually mentioning a shotgun in the closet), but he's always looking our for our best interest. And we know it.
10. He started his own business, and I'm so proud of everything he's done. He's amazing.
Ok, I lied. #11: He's taking us to the airport at 5 a.m. tomorrow. He's the best. I'm telling you!

Happy Father's Day, Dad!
Wish I could have been there with ya... but I will definitely tell Hollywood you said hello. LOVE YOU more than you know! See you when we get back!

All more than true. I've decided to keep him now that he is broken in properly. Well said, E~
