Happy Father's Day!

Happy, Happy Father's Day!!  This was such a special day for us as Vince got to celebrate his first ever Father's Day!! :)

There is nothing more special than the bond that is shared between a father and his son.  Watching Vince interact with Owen is absolutely breathtaking...he is an amazing father and definitely a man that Owen will always look up to!  Owen and I are so very lucky that he is ours.

While visiting in the NICU today, Vince was given a special Father's Day letter, written by Matthew C., the father of a NICU baby.  I thought we would leave you with a few of his words...

"NICU Dads are special, we are unique, and we are of the rarest kind, wildly different from our fathers.  We find peace in knowing that our child has been instilled with the will to live.  Regardless of the outcome they showed up for the fight.  We support our families with the unwavering shoulders of Atlas supporting the world, not because we chose to, but because we were chosen to. And, we find peace in the simplest ways, the warmth of a warmer, the touch of a hand, the smell of our child...In the NICU miracles happen every day, even if today's miracle is nothing more than a smile that you could capture forever.  Always remember that tomorrow isn't here yet, so it can wait until it arrives.  NICU dads are a different breed, I know that, and I hope you do to."

Happy Father's Day to all of the special men in your lives and ours!  Please continue to keep Owen in your thoughts and prayers!

p.s. Owen continues to grow with each day that passes!  He wanted you to know that this morning he weighed in at 2 lb, 15 oz!!  WOOHOO!  He is working on growing big and strong, just like his daddy, his uncles, his papa and grandpas, and his cousins!
