The Kiddos

Camden finds it hilarious when Ellie smacks him in the face with her flailing arms. I'm thinkin' He wont find it as funny a couple years down the road. Too bad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful DAD!

I remembered something I loved about my Dad a week ago and I thought I'd share it to honor him on his birthday today.

As a kid, I think the age of a second grader, jokes were the big thing. I remember coming home from school with a new one to share and the reaction of my Dad. He thought they were the funniest jokes in the world. He would heartily chuckle and then tell the joke to my brothers and sisters. One of the jokes went like this: "You want to hear a good knock knock joke? OK, you start it...Knock knock...who's there?......(awkward pause)" . That's it. I think we use to try to make up our own jokes with him too at the kitchen table. Ahhh, memories of Dad at the kitchen table...that's where many of mine are from. From his interesting dinner creations to his anticipation to hear a good story from that day, to the famous shoulder rubbs after the meal that we all remember.

What memories do you have of Dad that have popped up lately?

LOVE YOU DAD!
