These VanderLouw kiddos are so lucky to have Ray for a dad. He loves them somethin' fierce. Happy Father's Day to the best dad around. We love you!

Yes Ray, it's true - You are the man. You are a good example to all of us of Fatherhood.

Becky, that photo of sleeping baby Naomi holding Ray's thumb is very sweet and impressive - You should submit it to a contest, or for publishing somewhere. Seriously, it could be a poster for parenthood.
