Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful Dad’s in my life!

June 21, 2009

First I’ll start off with my Dad…of course, since he is the first Dad I knew. My Dad is always good for a laugh and usually up for a good time.  It’s fun to watch him tease Mia with the same jokes that would send me into a giggling fit when I was her age.

Here we are right before my Senior Prom:

And a couple of years ago at Thanksgiving.

And my favorite…..Dad swinging with Mia

Then, there is my Grandpa.  He was very special to me.  I miss him so much and even now that he has been gone for seven years this month sometimes a smell or just the right song in church will leave me with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.  I don’t have very many photos to share of him since most of them are still part of my mom and dad’s photo collection, but here is one that I have and love of him holding me as a baby.

And my Dad with Granny and Grandpa.  I’m not sure of the year.

Then of course, more recently some important Dad’s in my life are my husband, Saylor,

and my father-in-law, Jay.

Thank you for all you do! Happy Father’s Day!
