The Torrey Family Blog: happy father's day.

dear avery + blake-

father's day is tomorrow. you might not realize what an incredible dad you have just yet, but you will. he has always been there for you. from the day you were born he woke up in the beginning to help change your diapers and bring you both to me to feed. he rocked you both at all hours of the night. even before you were born he was there to support me through the entire pregnancy. he came to almost every single one of my doctors appointments. he has supported all of us from the very beginning.

he works so hard to support us and give you need and want. he supports me as well, more than i could ever imagined. he has allowed me to follow my passion and do photography. he watches you on the weekends so i can go out and take pictures. he does this for us. all of us. he always makes his best effort to come and watch you both at school and activities. i know he looks forward to the days of games and recitals.

avery, you have no idea what a special place you have in your daddy's heart. you are a daddy's girl. completely. he has always been there for you!

you go to his side of the bed when you wake up. you know how to push his buttons. but, you can also make him smile like no one else can.

he is going to be over protective.

but he will always be there to hold to your hand.

you should know he's a little bit of a softie sometimes. you have the ability to stay up past your bedtime. you will learn soon enough how to get away with much more than watching tv late at night. lately, every night when you daddy reads your book you climb on his back.

but, as much as he supports you. we have to remember to support him as well. you are great at cheering him on when he runs his "big races"

simply stated. your daddy loves you! and he will always be there for you!

you will realize one day what an incredible dad you have and i can only pray you find someone to love you and treat you the way your daddy does.

blake, my sweet boy. your first word was dada. you are the one to carry out the torrey name.

i know your dad has big plans for you. he can't wait until you can play baseball. but, he's going to teach you so much more than that. he will teach you how to one day be a godly man. a loving husband. and an incredible father. all will be lessons that will be learned through watching and not through actual teaching. so pay close attention. you can learn a lot from him.

you love to climb on your daddy and be rough. if he lays on the floor you immediately think he is your own personal jungle gym.

you have such a sweet personality and are also happy to sit and read books.

never get to old to give hugs and kisses. ever.

your dad and i went away for the night. and when we walked in you screamed daddy! you didn't scream for me. as much as you are a mama's boy you miss your daddy when he is gone. you're the first one to greet him when he gets home from work. the second you hear the door open you stop what you are doing and go running.
