The children bring Michael a lot of joy. He’s very protective of his bedtime routine with the kids— on the days he works and gets home from the hospital at bedtime he always looks forward to seeing Lake and Lady Kitty and supervising the teeth brushing, pajamas and the tucking in rituals of stories, songs or books, and finally soft cheek kisses.

This Father’s Day was filled with happy family occasions belonging to June — a Murphy cousin wedding and an Ayres cousin graduation. It was a full day atop a full weekend bursting with gratitude of family and celebration of love, accomplishment, pride and fatherhood.

By the end of the day Sunday we were saturated with love and pleasant society and so grateful to settle into the sweetness of the evening bedtime togetherness. These precious moments create the fabric of our current family lives as well as lasting memories and tradition.

A perfect Father’s Day— we’re glad to spend it and every day with you.
