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.

  6. Oh how this reminds this Ozark Farm Chick of my own 36 year old Geek Son.

    My MIL saved my Hubs toys that Son played with growin' up. Just a few months ago after movin' MIL into an assisted livin' facility, Son retrieved the old farm toys and her button box. She used to make spinnin' toys outta thread and buttons that would entertain him for hours. God bless that woman!

    Your grandchildren are just precious treasures girl!

    God bless and have a fabulous day from the happy hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa!!! :o)

  8. I know what you mean Jules. My little Jack looks so much like his daddy, my son Frank. Their personalities are very different however. And like your little Jack, mine has had to play with doll houses and Barbies. But we've since dug out Grandpa's old trucks!!
    As usual, your photos are wonderful, I wish I could get good one's like that! You have a talent!
    Love Di ♥
