My Dad

So, today is my dad's birthday. I must admit, that I am the WORST person in the world about remembering birthdays. I remember ON the day, but hardly ever long enough beforehand to send anything...and it is, of course, worse now because not only do I have the forgetful pregnancy brain, but it takes at least 2 weeks for any mail to reach the US from here. Sorry, Dad!!

I thought, this time instead of sending a card, I'll write up a little shpill here on my blog and let everyone see what kind of guy they're dealing with here! :P

My dad is always thinking...he he he! He has an answer for everything, and usually a joke to go with it! :)


Ah, my dad and his camera! I remember those wonderful days when we would do family photos, and he'd set up the timer on the camera and we'd all try to smile, or do funny faces! :)


Where there are children, my dad is also! :) Dad has a way with kids. They naturally go to him and hang on him and love him. Maybe because he just loves them back! He has no inhibitions when it comes to playing with kids--he just sits right down with them and plays on their level.


Dad appreciates good food! :) Good stuff, like cinnamon rolls, homemade bread, barbequed steak with baked potatoes, ice cream.... As long as it's not fruit or soup! :) I also should mention that he is amazing at building, refinishing, and making everything around him look beautiful! He refinished this table in the picture...you should have seen it before!!


Dad can make the best of any situation he is in, and still make it fun! No matter how uncomfortable it might be for him, he makes everyone around him happy!


He is always happy, happy to be wherever and with whomever. And everyone is happy with him!


Everyone trusts dad implicitly. No one ever questions my dad's integrity. He can be trusted with kids, work, secrets, you name it!!


Dad has always been very supportive of everything we've done. I don't think he ever missed an event we were in--be it some random marching band half-time, a concert, or a graduation, he was always there (whistling loudly! :)!


Happy Birthday, Dad! We love you!!
