Happy Father's Day

This is for all the wonderful father's in my life

Starting with the love for life and father of my children: Austin

Second: To my Dad, Who I miss dearly.


To my Step-Dad: Don:

Father's Day

Over the years
As we grow old,
We remember our father
So brave and bold.

In the garden,
Leaning on the plow,
He would listen to me;
I see him now.

He would give advice
And understand;
He was always there
To lend a hand.

God made fathers
Strong and firm,
For he knew our lives
Would have great concerns.

So he gave us fathers
To teach us to pray,
And guide our lives,
And show us the way.

So on his day
Let's take the time
To say "Thanks, dad.
I'm glad you're mine."
Mary Frances Bogle

And to both my grandfathers: Grandpa Ahleen and Grandpa Pete

Grandfathers Are Fathers Who Are Grand

Grandfathers are fathers who are grand,
Restoring the sense that our most precious things
Are those that do not change much over time.
No love of childhood is more sublime,
Demanding little, giving on demand,
Far more inclined than most to grant the wings
Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.
Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers,
Helping out with young and restless hearts,
Each has all the patience wisdom brings,
Remembering our passions more than others,
Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

Trip to the zoo with Billie and Gary Rudolph

Billie and Gary stopped and spent a couple day hanging out with Justin. The First day-Justin went to lunch, swimming and work on his favorite thing with his grandma- Origami. Later that night we all went to dinner. Second day- they treated us to a trip to the Zoo.
After the trip to the zoo I insisted on making dinner,
so we had a BBQ, Mom and Don came down. We had a great dinner and
had fun talking and sharing stories.

Thank You Billie and Gary,
for being such great grandparents to Justin.
Happy Fathers Day!! Gary
