It's been par for the course that Levi has missed most of my birthdays, Mother's Day, his birthday, and Father's Day over the past 9 years. He just always seems to be have been deployed or on workups around that time of year! But we still celebrate and make it as special as possible, even when he's not here to celebrate! I always conduct an interview with the boys, and I especially loved doing it this year, because while its been about 10 months since Levi left, they remembered all the little details about him that I was praying they wouldn't forget! It was almost as if Levi hasn't been gone from their lives at all!
They're just so cute to go back and look at these sweet interviews each year! And we always try and do some sort of handprint art, because, well, why not!! They're always so cute and adorable! So we came up with these and I LOVE them!!!
We shipped our special sentiments off early so they would get to Bahrain in time! We love our daddy so much and are so excited to hopefully never miss another Father's Day ever again!!!
For my dad, I made him a photo book of a bunch of childhood pictures, like these classics...
It was definitely a treasured gift!! And from the boys, we made this beautiful keepsake artwork :)
We are all blessed to have Levi and my dad as our role models in life! Without either of them, I wouldn't be where I am today and I wouldn't feel as loved as I do! I am so thankful and my heart is so full!
