Happy Fathers Day...a little early

To my husband.  The father of my beautiful little girls.  My hero.  My everything.
To the man I married.  To the man you have become.  To the man you evolve into with each passing day.
We love you.
Happy Father's Day.
The lyrics to this song touch my heart so close.  
My heart melts every time I hear it because it perfectly describes Matty with his four little girls.
Their new found thing to do together is fish...I can see the meaning of this song in his eyes. With every worm he puts on their hooks.  With every squeal of excitement they let out when they know it's time to go in Daddy's boat.  He loves them more than words can express.  And he is their hero...every single day.
Daddy's little girls, wrapped tightly around his finger heart.


I’m lost in her there holdin’ that pink rod and reel
She’s doin’ almost everything but sittin’ still
Talkin’ ‘bout her ballet shoes and training wheels
And her kittens
And she thinks we’re just fishin’

I say, “Daddy loves you, baby” one more time
She says, “I know. I think I got a bite.”
And all this laughin’, cryin, smilin’ dyin’ here inside’s
What I call, livin’

And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’

She’s already pretty, like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy
Give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
‘Cause time is tickin’
(Yeah it is)

And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’

She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
Yeah, aww, she thinks we’re just fishin’
We ain’t only fishin’
(This ain’t about fishin’)
