Happy Father's Day, Brandon!

Happy Father's Day, Brandon!!!!!!!!!!

I took a few photos of Brandon and the girls together this weekend, and I thought he would like it if I dressed them up in their Aggie finest! :) The little cheer outfit that Licy is wearing was Ave's when she was little! :) 

I am so proud of Brandon--of the man he is and how God has molded him and used him, but I am most proud of the Daddy that he has become. My girls are so blessed to have a Daddy that wants to spend time with them, and that really is an amazing girl Dad. He lets Ave paint his fingernails (oops--was I supposed to say that?), he watches Princess movies, he has tea parties, and most importantly, he teaches them about God's love, tells them how much he loves them and how beautiful they are every single day. 

That means more to me than anything!

Brandon has been able to spend so much more time with Felicity than he did with Ave when she was bitty--due to work and school being at least an hour away one way. These pictures are so precious to me!

My three favorite people in the whole wide world...

Avaree loves her Daddy SO much. 

I asked Avaree some questions about her Daddy, and she answered them in her usual witty, honest manner! :) I promise that her answers were not scripted or edited in any way. If you know her well, you know this... ;) Enjoy!
