Father's Day Weekend

Grandpa had another surgery on Friday, the second one in less than a month. He has been having problems with his right hand for years so it was time he had the procedure. (www.healism.com/procedures/bones.../palmar_fasciectomy/)

 
Cash came to play on Saturday and that made Grandpa feel much better!

Signature Cash expression, we love it!

It was a beautiful day and Cash loved being up on Uncle Christopher's strong shoulders!


We honored the Dad's in our lives on Sunday. I love watching Mark with Cash. He's a good Daddy and it was fun to celebrate his first Father's Day! Tim is also a wonderful Father of the Home, as Mark would say! He loves being a Grandpa. He says it’s the best feeling in the world and loves every second of being with Cash. 

Grandpa with his eyes closed and...

Grandpa with his eyes open!

Tim loves gadgets and Mark, Tiff and Cash gave him a cool HEXBUG.


 
Cash loved it too!!

Tim and I miss our Dad's so much. Ivan and Glenn are always in our thoughts. We are grateful for their influence and love.





























































































































The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

He's in my eyes

My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone

And I think I can't go on

I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright"
Yes it is


~ Keith Urban "Song for Dad"








































































































































I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys
When I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize

The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did
He always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have

The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

He's in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone

And I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright"
Yes it is
