Daddy Love

Dads and their little girls have such a special bond. I can see that connection grow more and more each day with Ryan and Blythe. We are super fortunate that when Ryan isn't traveling, he works from home. I love that he gets that extra time to sneak glimpses of Blythe throughout the day as we run from place to place.

Ryan is an amazing Dad in so many ways- calm, patient, fun, silly. He adores his little girl and she him.

Watching these two over the years is going to be one of the greatest joys of my life.

Happy 4th!

Ryan and I had a blast this weekend at my family's beach house in Galveston with both of our sets of parents, celebrating the 4th.

This was Blythe's second beach trip, and she had a ball.
