Happy Father's Day!

Today we celebrate fathers. To all the Dads out there, Happy Father's Day! Thank you for the role you play in your families and for being there for your kids. It makes such a huge difference in their lives.

To Martin, the love of my life and father of my two beautiful children: I love you with all my heart. I love being your wife and being Mommy to our kiddos. Nothing brings me greater joy than raising our family together. Even in the midst of chaos and sleepless nights, I realize how blessed I am that our paths crossed 5 years ago and that I get to spend the rest of my life with you.

You are such an incredible Dad! I love watching you play with the kids, especially when you're making them laugh. The laughter in our home is one of the things I value most in my life. You always know how to make me and the kids smile! Thank you for all that you are, Martin...you complete me.

To my Dad, a.k.a. Daddy-O: Thank you for providing us with such a positive example of what it means to be a parent. If I am half the parent that you and Mom have been to us, then I will have succeeded in raising my kids well. I love you and am so grateful for all the ways you've made a difference in my life. In your professional life, you've always worked to "develop leaders that make a difference" and you've succeeded in doing the same at home, raising four leaders who are making the world a better place, each in our own unique way. We love you so much!
