I want to wish all the Dada out there a wonderful day.. Here is a great poem</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fathers are Wonderful People</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fathers are wonderful people</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Too little understood, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And we do not sing their praises</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As often as we should... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For, somehow, Father seems to be</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The man who pays the bills, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Mother binds up little hurts</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And nurses all our ills... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And Father struggles daily</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To live up to "HIS IMAGE"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As protector and provider</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And "hero or the scrimmage"...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And perhaps that is the reason</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We sometimes get the notion, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That Fathers are not subject</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To the thing we call emotion, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But if you look inside Dad's heart, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where no one else can see</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You'll find he's sentimental</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And as "soft" as he can be... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But he's so busy every day</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the grueling race of life, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He leaves the sentimental stuff</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To his partner and his wife... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But Fathers are just WONDERFUL</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a million different ways, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And they merit loving compliments</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And accolade of praise, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the only reason Dad aspires</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To fortune and success</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is to make the family proud of him</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And to bring them happiness... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And like OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He's a guardian and a guide, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Someone that we can count on</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rileyroos are super cute but comfortable and my daughter love the velcro strap. Rileyroos fit her so well and she really did not like shoes before the Rileyroos, which I purchase via <a href="http://www.babyhalfoff.com/">www.babyhalfoff.com</a>...So I highly recommend Rileyroos for your little roo...</span><br />

I wanted to record my daughter’s growth via a growth chart. I came across the most adorable growth chart via etsy. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi to all the new followers... Well, I admit to being a pretty big shopaholic especially now with my daughter. Plus, I love to tell everyone about great companies and people that I come across. Neighborhoodies is one such company because they are awesome and their customized items on their site is the best. Plus, I received the best customer services experience, as well. I am sooo glad that I came across them via my Google online search for custom items. I love the funk website and the items, check it out </span><a href="http://www.neighborhoodies.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://www.neighborhoodies.com/</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neighborhoodies is a small company run by kids who have no business running a business. We made our first hoodie less than five years ago. Within what seemed like minutes we'd made a splash in New York, and found love in cities across the country. The attention of folks like NBC, CNN and NPR didn't hurt none, and the next thing you know we're packing up our stuff, moving out of our basement apartment and setting up a real-life office in Brooklyn. Now we've got 60 full timers, a giant bean bag, and a dart board</span><br />

In an effort to avoid the very gender-stereotyped boy clothes that flooded the racks of many larger stores, I filled my need for cool hip clothes through etsy and local boutiques. I developed a love for the unique and handmade. When my daughter was born at home this past October my creative juices began to over flow.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt;">The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Spokane</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Washington</st1:state></st1:place>. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt;">Having been raised by her father, William Jackson Smart, after her mother died, <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sonora</st1:place></st1:state> wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. <st1:state w:st="on">Sonora</st1:state>'s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Spokane</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Washington</st1:state></st1:place> on the 19th of June, 1910.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
