You Were Made For Father's Day


When you were younger you told everyone that you wanted to be a Dad when you grew up.



Well, look how blessed you are today.










Three boys who take just after you.

















And a Daddy's girl on the way.











Happy Father's Day, honey!














Photography by The Amazing Ashlee Allen.

To Think is to Create said...

Oh wow, incredible. The one of the three of them standing up on the table made me teary. I don't know why, maybe b/c Noah is standing up all strong and confident. The funny Carter one is hilarious and Gray in every pic shows that he will be a force to be reckoned with someday (if not right now!).

Jeff is an amazing dad, Happy Father's day to all of you!

Just Pure Lovely said...

Great photos, Steph. And such cute little men! I was the only girl with 3 brothers. She will be protected by all of them and spoiled by 2 of them and both of you, but one of them, I predict, will be her tease and keep her grounded.

....and now, you just reminded me that I should blog, too, even though I don't normally on Sunday. Ugh, thinking ahead, not so good at that...

Jennifer said...
