So happy happy happy to my dad! He is 70! I can't believe it, he still can work me into the ground. He is going to retire the beginning of next year, and then he says he can finish all the projects he's left undone around the house (okay so my mom says that's what he'll do ;)!) He was always so rough and gruff when I was growing up, and it is so fun to see him with his grandkids. He is just a big push over! He coos and spoils and give the grandkids anything they want... he never did that for me! What gives? It is so cute to see him with them. I love it. What a great example he is to me of hard work, dedication, honesty, thrift, integrity, and forgiveness. I truly am who I am in large part because of his example and "solid as a rock faith" He's the best and I love him greatly.
Okay, wasn't that just yesterday? That was four years and two kids ago! Seriously, How grateful and how saddened I am by the quick passing of time. Is it possible to be both? It is for me. What a great time of my life to have all the little kids gathered around, where I know what they are up to and I am still a major influence in their lives, how quickly that will pass, and for that I am saddened. What great kids I have. I am truly grateful for each one of them and their quirky personalities.

I'm still laughing at Noah's hair! That's awesome...just so you know Avery's mad that you weren't watching them today! And Diane is thanking you for the opportunity to do Eli's diaper!
Hope class is going well...
I remember that picture. It seems like only yesterday we were all gushing over how beautiful you looked and how awesome they were. Now $1500 later I could own my own camera and photo shop, and not need Haley. We are SUCKERS. No I love it.
Does Noah still have curly hair? So cute! You look so pretty!
