Dads. We adore them :) And we know y’all do, too. In honor of Father’s Day, we wanted to take a moment to honor our own dads – we wouldn’t be who we are without them!

From Kristin:
What is your favorite trait you got from your dad? I have the best childhood memories of my sweet daddy coaching my tee-ball team and sitting beside him watching sports on Saturday afternoons. I am quite grateful that I inherited a bit of his athletic prowess and love of sports. It is especially handy because KPW works in sports and we frequent football stadiums and basketball arenas.
What trait of your dad’s do you WISH you had gotten? His ability to wake up 3 minutes before his alarm clock and to wake up willingly with the sun :)
From Lisa:
What is your favorite trait you got from your dad? I am grateful to be a lot like my dad in many ways, but some of my favorite traits I got from him are my love of travel, curiosity about the world and people, and blue eyes.
What trait of your dad do you WISH you had gotten? This will sound funny, but his lungs! My dad is an amazing athlete, and even after his 50-mile runs, I have never seen him out of breath. I am quite the opposite, but I’m working on it :)

From Lara:
What is your favorite trait you got from your dad? My dad is a very happy-go-lucky guy. I love his ease about life and positive outlook! I try to model that in my own life, although I think he has a few more years of wisdom than I do!
What trait of your dad’s do you WISH you had gotten? I wish I had my dad’s patience and endurance. He can sit for hours and study something. My attention span is not as refined.

From Nicole:
What is your favorite trait you got from your dad? Our sense of adventure from anything from food to adrenaline rushes. We’ve been known to try crazy food combinations together and go skydiving. We’re currently dreaming up a scuba diving trip once I get certified!
What trait of your dad’s do you WISH you had gotten? His athleticism. My dad is always running, hiking, swimming or kayaking.
From Emily:
What is your favorite trait you got from your dad? My Dad is a lover of words and reading. I can’t say how grateful I am that he instilled that love at a young age – it has shaped my life in every way!
What trait of your dad’s do you WISH you had gotten? My Dad is an amazing whistler. I wish I had his ability to make music at a moment’s notice!
Dark Roux from Donielle + Vince’s wedding
We’d love to hear: What trait did you get from your dad, and what trait do you wish you had gotten?
Happy Father’s Day, dads!!
