Mike had an early Father’s Day a few Fridays ago during the Food and Wine Festival at Busch with 15 meal sampler. He was quite happy at the end of that day. He has been so busy at WP with Peter and the Starcatcher.

While most dads will enjoy a steak and a day off of lawn care , Mike will be crew for the 2pm show and they will strike (take down) the set (which he helped build!) and then have their cast party and probably won’t be home until 11pm, as has been the case for countless days since March. Then Saturday he will help build the set for Canton’s show, Elf the Musical. That is just the dad he is, always looking for ways to support his kids’ endeavors. He may have dreamed of coaching Canton in wrestling, but we let our kids be who they are, and Mike adjusted his own expectations of teaching pin combinations to watching tap combos instead. He has literal blood, sweat, and tears into all of the kids’ pursuits, cheering from the wings as they blossom in so many unexpected ways. His flexibility and support makes him just the dad my kids need and the partner I am so blessed to have by my side. We love you, Mike! Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day, Mike! You have spent hours at the theatre, harp, and gymnastics, allowing and supporting our kids to be who they are and find their place in the world. Thankful for our “Big Fella”, we love you!

To the dad that teaches his girls to fix toilets and volunteers for his son’s acting ventures. Thank you for your generosity, support, for your time and being a true role model. Thank you for our family! We love you! Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day! Thank you for being stuck with us 24/7 for 15 months! Where would we be without your dad jokes, terrible music taste, and letting the girls claw you 🙂 Thank you for your handiness in Star Trek constriction and trivia. Thank you for all you provide each day.

I’m so excited to see where the next 12 father’s days lead!

Happy Father’s Day to the guy who goes on owl walks, sews stuffed animal sleeping bags, and rides all the big coasters! I’m so lucky to share this journey with you by my side!

Enjoying Father’s Day with my new “get up and move” motivational watch and my new mug! You all make being a Father the best job!

Dad’s first Father’s Day was an amazing one!  I started the day by giving the best gift of all – sleeping from 10:30pm to 4:30am!  Oh how six hours of continuous sleep is such a luxury for Mom and Dad. 🙂  Mommy and I had earlier planned to give Dad a great Father’s Day.  I picked out a frame with my name on it, some Father’s Day golf balls, and best of all, a SuperDad t-shirt!  All we need now is a cape!

I spent the rest of the day rocking out with Dad, having some serious conversations, playing with Mom and Roxy, and going for a walk in my new carrier!  The carrier seemed a little big for me still but Dad gave it a try anyways.  Once the day was over, I curled up in my swing, my favorite place to sleep, and took a long, well deserved nap.

Dad told me that being a Dad means more than words can explain or any single day can give meaning to.  He said once I was in his arms for the first time, his world completely changed and gave new meaning.  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!
