A blogger made this suggestion to me and I think it's a great idea!
Post your Father's Day greeting to Nate on his first Father's Day.
I can do these kinds of things because:
1. I'm his dad, so he has to put up with me.
2. He gave me access to his blog way back when things were scary/busy so I could post updates.
So let it happen Nathan. No dad has a greater reason to smile big than you.
Happy Father's Day son!
(Where's Gwyneth taking you for dinner?)

You have walked such a long road to be called "daddy"! You are filling the role so well. I heard on the radio yesterday a definition of success: When those who know us the best respect us the most. Nathan, you are clearly held in high esteem by those who know you best---may our Father in heaven continue to empower you to be the best daddy possible.
Lori C. in VA
Happy Fathers day,
may this be the first of many to come. God bless you.
Cindy
Happy First Father's Day!! Isn't it amazing that you're a DAD?! Have an awesome day! Soak it up!
Happy Father's Day!!!
My parenting advice:
>>You can't hug/hold/cuddle her too much.
>>Don't let people tell you your "spoiling" her.
>>Love her with all your heart and never hold anything back.
God bless your family!
Happy 1st Father's Day Nathan!!! Enjoy your day with your 2 girls!!
Marcia
there are many bad dads, some are so so and others just have no clue. So when you get a good dad to observe (and this goes for grampa too!) it makes all the difference in the world.
hope you don't get an ugly tie!

Happy Father's Day! The first of many. You're very blessed.
Happy first Father's Day both to you and to my husband! You only have your first Father's Day once, so enjoy every minute of it!
Happy Fathers day Nate. A friend of mine sings a song called daddy's little girl. It's a dad talking about seeing two little feet walking in his footsteps. He hears a little voice asking things he dosen't know. he touchs some tiny fingers reaching out for direction.then it goes on to say, If shes following me, then Lord I need to follow you. If I'm a living example then I need a whole lot of your light.
I think of you and Gwyneth when I hear the song. You are going to be a very good Godly example for her.
Happy Fathers Day Nathan! May it be the first of many more. Blessings!
Have a great first Fathers Day Nathan!

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
(Author Unknown)
Have a wonderful First Father's Day Nathan!

What a fabulous idea. A great father, doing something for his great son! Happy Father's Day to BOTH the dads who write here.
Happy 1st Father's Day! You are an incredible Daddy and I'm sure Gwyneth is going to have fun giggling with you as she grows up. With all those goofy faces you make, there's no way she won't be laughing all the time. LOL May God bless you!
Hugs from El Paso,
Karla and family
It is my prayer for you on your first Father's Day that the Lord let His joy shine so brightly in your girls' eyes that you can see nothing but His glory and faithfulness that have brought you here. I pray you know that God is the same this Father's Day as He was last Father's Day and He'll be the same next Father's Day. He has done an amazing job of building your family this year and I cannot wait to see awesome plans He has for the Lawrenson three in the next one. Congratulations on being the daddy to the cutest tiny miracle baby girl around!
Happy 1st Father's Day!
Happy Father's Day to both Rick and Nate!!!

Happy 1st Fathers Day!!! Gwyneth is one lucky little girl.
Happy first Father Day Nate! You're so doing a great job as a dad, and one of the best things you're doing already is praying for Gwyneth and teaching her about the best Dad of all!
I've been so awed to see the amazing bond between my daughter and husband and have been so reminded of the special relationship I always had with my father. There's something so incredibly precious about a daddy and a daughter. Gwyneth is so blessed to have you as her earthly example of the love of her Eternal Father and to guide her steps, love, and protect her as she grows. Happy first Father's Day!
