Papa!

 Today's is Papa's birthday!! :) Man, do we love our Papa around here.  It's funny to think that it has only been 3 years that he has been playing the role of "Papa", because it seems like Papa is who he was always meant to be.  He positively glows in his role as Papa, and adores these girls like I've never seen any other children adored.  And they sure know how much they are loved.

Here are some things that Papa loves, according to Reilly.  This is straight from the two year old's mouth, word for word, prompted only by questions like "What does Papa love?"  and "What does he like to do?" :

 Papa loves me. Papa loves Rea Rea.  Papa loves my bed.  Papa plays toll bridge, and gives me prizes, and goes to get the ice cream man for me.  Papa loves to eat gum!  Papa loves to eat food, like ice cream man.  Papa goes to work to coach.  Papa loves Mima!  Papa likes to coach.  Papa takes me to Penny Lane and to the stores.  We just play and have fun!

You are an amazing Daddy, and we all love you so much!  Have a wonderful birthday, we can't wait to celebrate with you.
