Happy Father's Day

Today is Spencer's first Father's Day, he missed it last year by three days. Spencer is such a great daddy. Roman loves him so much. He says Daddy ALL THE TIME when Spencer is around, just to confirm that he is still there. Oh and everyone always tells us how much Roman looks like his daddy. We always love that.

I can't help but think of Roman's birthfather today also. We haven't heard from him since the day we came home, but we hope he knows how much we love this little man, and how much we love him for giving us the opportunity to be a family.

I just wanted to take a minute to honor Spencer this Father's Day!

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
Photobucket

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,


The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad

    Wendy is such a great mom and wife. I did not do half as much for her on Mother's Day as she has done for me this Father's Day. It has been a great day. I love being a Dad and never knew how wonderful it would be to have Roman. I am truely greatful to Katie and Alex for giving me the opportunity to be a father and for also knowing what was best for Roman.
