We spent Father's Day in Newport this year and had a BBQ. The night before we left the kids gave daddy this bouquet of sweets. The kids are so lucky to have Ryan as their daddy. He is so good with them and so hands on. We are very grateful for all that you do.....Happy Father's Day to the best daddy!! Thanks to my dad and Father in law as well for all that you do!! We love you so much
