Today is Father's Day. I am very proud to say that Finley has the best father he could ever have. Matthew is very caring, gentle, patient and loving with Finny. He is already teaching Finley about the farm like how to drive the tractor, which Finley already loves, and about the cows and feed. Yesterday, the afternoon was spent riding on the tractor and feeding the cows until Finley fell asleep in the tractor. He was nodding off when we headed for home. Matthew takes Finley out in the yard and teaches him how to kick a ball, catch a football and run with it. Last, but not least, Matthew is teaching Finley about spiritual growth and already has shown that he will be an excellent teacher, not just at church but at home too. I thank God for the father Matthew has already become. When I was shopping for a Father's Day card for Matthew, I found THE card and started crying...in the middle of the store. The last line says, "When I learn to talk, I'll say that I have the best daddy ever". It is so true. Finley is truly blessed.

We went to the farm to celebrate Father's Day. Finley loves the Flowers in the office. How many times do you have to say "no" in a day???
He also likes looking out the window at the cats and the dogs. Sometimes, he will yell at them and bang on the window.

Matthew and Finn. I love my boys!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the wonderful pictures. Anyone can tell from looking at the pictures that Matthew is caring and gentle and a great dad. What a sweet baby boy you have. I miss him (and you and Matthew!) so much.
PS...it's nice to finally see a picture of our future nephew-in-law, Fred! Thanks for posting it.
Sharon,
This is such a sweet tribute to Matthew and all his efforts to become the best father and spiritual leader he is. Thank you! I cried when I read about his card.
PS: I also cried (in the store) when I found Jason a daddy-to-be card.
