Happy Father's Day


The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!
~Author Unknown

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope. ~Bill Cosby

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! ~Lydia M. Child, Philothea: A Romance, 1836

It is not flesh and blood but the heart which makes us fathers and sons. ~Johann Schiller

A father carries pictures where his money used to be. ~Author Unknown

Dad, you're someone to look up to no matter how tall I've grown. ~Author Unknown

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't. ~Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

Dad, your guiding hand on my shoulder will remain with me forever. ~Author Unknown

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland


We'll let you be Obama for the day.

Happy Father's Day sweetheart, we love you!

Tick Tock



I was looking forward to sleeping in at least a little bit this morning. However, my internal clock had other plans. I turned off the alarms last night so, I wouldn't have to hear them this morning. What happens?  6:34, I am wide awake while the children are safely nestled in their beds sleeping like babies, while I am wide awake. The funny thing about it is there were times when I would sleep right through the alarm and get up rushing the kids around trying to get them out to the bus on time. Then there are mornings like these where I don't have to wake up and I am wide awake with no hope of falling back asleep. Old habits are hard to break.

My Baby Graduated From The 5th Grade

My baby graduated from the 5th grade today. It was so hard, especially when Mr. Bateman announced they were the graduating class of 2018. I cried, then the teachers cried and I cried again, then when we went to go get her she was crying, because she was sad to be leaving the elementary school and I cried some more. Shh... even her brother had a few tears in his eyes, which I did not expect at all. That's when it hit me, my baby will be graduating in 7 years and my son will be graduating in 6 years. It's almost over and they will be all grown up and going off to college before you know it. Graduating the 5th grade is such a milestone in their life, next year she will be going on to middle school and everything will begin changing. Before I know it, there will be boys and dances then the prom. I am so not ready it for it.
My little princess insisted on wearing her pageant dress, she is such the little diva. Surprisingly, she wasn't the only child in a formal. There were a few girls in formal and one of our neighbor's boys was wearing a pin striped suit and top hat. It was too cute.


















Comment Posting

Is anyone else having the same problem as I am with posting comments on google blogs? Mine isn't working unless it is a pop up box to post a comment. I would love to post comments, but for some reason it won't let me. Anyone know how to fix it?
