After Lindsey read this we had him answer the questions. He was a little miffed about the eating and sleeping comments so to be funny he tried to change all his answers to be about eating and sleeping even his favorite song. He had the kids (and me) rolling! He is so funny!
I do appreciate Alan so much. He is so hardworking. He comes home from work and never takes time for himself. He immediately is playing with the kids till bedtime. You can tell he spends a lot of his time with them because they are very close to him and adore him! I could not have been blessed with a better father or example for my children!
To my Dad,
He has always been a great example to me. Someone I knew would always be there. He taught me the value of education and I always have admired how smart he was. As an adult I have learned how important it is to have him around. He is always there for me when I need him. When I lost my ipod and was so devastated he bought a new one for me, when my car's battery died he was here fixing it and helping get a new one bought and installed, last week when my vacuum died he came over and took it apart and then took it to Oreck to get it repaired... he came home with a new one! It means a lot to me that even as an adult I have the security of knowing he is there for me. When I got married I truly felt his sadness when I was moving forward yet I think I have been closer to him as I have grown up and had my own children. I love you Dad.
To my Father in law,
Alan's Dad has always been there for me. He truly treats me like his real daughter. He has spent all his free time with my children and they adore him. He takes them out and plays with them. He is often referred to lovingly as the pied piper because the kids all adore him and run to be with him. The other day he took Jacob swimming when Jacob returned I asked Jacob how it was and he told me all the silly games he and his grandpa played together in the pool. Most adults sit on the side and simply supervise but this Grandpa was out there playing and Jacob remembers every moment. When I have had a worry or concern he has done whatever he could to fix it. He is a great example of a generous hearted person and has never stopped taking care of us.
We are so lucky to have these 3 amazing Dad's in our lives!

Laura,
Sounds like you have some incredible men in your life. I was cracking up reading the survey. If you asked my kids they'd tell you I like to sleep as well yet I've probably taken 10 naps since the twins have been born, so I can relate to Alan's reaction to the comments. :)
So you got a NEW vacuum?
You are so blessed to have such wonderful men in your life! I love the Q & A session you had with your kids!
I liked the survey. I'm glad you are blessed with strong men in your kids life. I have lucky to have that too. Father's day is a good day to stop and remember that! (Seems easier to remember mom at various times - I guess because I'm a girl).
Hope you have a great week!
Yeah who would have thought a person could be so excited about a vacuum... but I really am!
I love this survey!!! I am so doing this for my dad and my husband. Answers from my Lilly of course! Thank you for sharing it!
