Father's Day (and Mother's Day) is always a time for us to reflect on the boy's beginnings, before we were chosen. Because, where would we be without their birthparents? After all, it was them that gave us the reason to celebrate these days.
We don't know much at all about the boy's birthfathers. They had no part at all in making the adoption plan for their sons. However, as we all know, they played a pivotal role in creating these beautiful masterpieces and for that we are forever grateful.
Erik is a great dad, the boys adore him. They are lucky to have him as a father but he'll be the first to tell you that he's the lucky one. He and I can't get enough of Kade and Mason. We love them so much our hearts burst.
On this day we recognize Erik and rightfully so, but we also say a silent thank you to the birthdads who made this all possible.
Mason being...well...Mason.
Why is Kade in baseball pants on a Sunday evening you ask? Well, they were playing catch in the yard. So OF COURSE he's dressing the part! There's a reason this kid won for being the fastest to get in and out of outdoor clothing for recess at school, 2 years running!
I told them to make a variety of silly faces in hopes to trick Mason into making a "Smiley Face" at the end....
...it worked. Kind of.
