Daddy's Toys

Since three of the four kids around here are girls, 

Jack seems to be "forced" into playing dress up and dolls. 

I actually kept some of Andy's favorite toys  from when he was little. 

Jack has to get this barn and tractors out whenever he comes to play.

There's just something about a pudgy little hand.......♥

There are so many similarities between Andy and Jack. 

Sometimes it gives me flashbacks to 23 years ago. 

I guess that means I'm only 25 years old on those days!

No wonder I love having him around.

Awesome. 

Papa's Girls

His little girls smile at him

with unbridled joy

just cause it's him.

They don't care if he's old

or grey, or creaks a little

when he walks up the stairs.

They think he's funny

when he's just goofy.

And they play horsey

with a guy who is slow to get up

let alone catch a little girl.

They play games

and they snuggle with him.

Cause they love him

and he loves them.

They run to him when there's trouble

with Mom or Dad.

Though he won't interfere

it's nice to know

they think he might.

They like him to read them books

and he likes it too.

Because he loves books

and them.

They claim "his chair" as theirs

because all he has belongs to them

and we all know that.

They spill stuff

they break things

they're often noisy

don't always mind

sometimes sassy

and make him wonder

why he ever cared

about any of that.

His daughter was his sun

and moon and stars

rolled up into one.

And she still is

because of two little girls.

A Little Ketchup

Oh... I meant "Catch Up"

Since I've been away from the blogging world for way too long, here are a couple pics to try to get back on track. I didn't realize how far behind I've gotten. So much has happened since I blogged in mid November.

This picture of Hadalye is from November 8th....before we got dumped on with our first snow.

I love this one of Brian and his truck.

 On December 1st I went to use the kitchen sink and no water would come out of the faucet. The pump down in the well was broken. They came and replaced it later that day.   $$OUCH$$

 There was nothing special going on this day. I just love the picture.

 On Cyber Monday I was doing a little online shopping and came across the best deal ever! I have been wanting one of these but the one I wanted was $400, way to expensive for me.

I found this one at Kohls....on sale....extra 30% off....Kohl's bucks....and free shipping.....

I only paid $120 for it! The best deal of 2011!

Hello...Anyone Out There?

 I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...just out having fun.

I will be back to regular programming soon.
