Father's Day 2011

Happy Father's Day Daddy -

and Happy Father's Day to our Father's -

My Father - whom I couldn't live without - we share many interests and am blessed to have such a great relationship with him (even though I think he likes Nate better than me...just kidding?? but then again maybe not...ha..ha..ha..). He is a one-of-a-kind perfectionist, he has been there through everything and surprises me from time to time with the sweet unexpected things he does (He was with Nate & I when I miscarried and had to have surgery, he comes over on surprise visits and I always love when he does something special for my mom on his own) - I love him and treasure him more than he'll ever know.

Nate's Father - such a special person in our lives - he is always there to guide, help and pray with us when we need him. At times I'll find him over at our house working away on things like the septic, electric or whatever else we may need - he cares so much about all of his children and has set such an example for us on how to live life to the fullest and honor God in doing so. He may favor Hunter over both of us (ha..ha...laughing but true!) but he means the world to us and we love him dearly.



Above: Grandpa Chapman (Nate's Dad), Nate, Hunter & Gramps Canode (My Dad). We were all able to get together as a family for a nice Father's Day Dinner -

And last but not least is Grandpa Chapman (Nate's Father's Father) whom we adore. From the moment I was introduced to him years ago I knew that Nate valued him highly and looked up to him in all he does. He always refers to Nate as his "buddy" and I'm so glad they have that special relationship with one another. I'm looking forward to him, Nate and Hunter spending time together fishing soon....we love you Grandpa!
