The adorable photos of the daddy-daughter duo \"working\" on Londyn's play car received a ton of love from strangers online.

\"I didn't think that it'd get this much attention, so it really feels good -- just the fact that people are enjoying the pictures as much as we are,\" Sheppard said, adding that she hopes to continue this photo tradition as Londyn grows.
