Doing What Dad Says

This morning when my dad bounded into our house, singing the Kellogg's song with a big smile on his face as he usually does, he also mentioned that I had not posted on my blog in a while.

True...So Dad, this post is for you.
Thanks for who you are Dad. Thanks for being nonjudgmental and unassuming of us disheveled parents of four. Thank you and mom for your never ending generosity of your money and more important, your time. Thanks for the phone conversations, and the morning walks on the parkway (we have to start doing that again). Thanks for always smiling. Thanks for genuinely enjoying life and teaching me to recognize the gifts that God had given me everyday. Thanks for loving me and my family and being such a big part of our lives!

And since you asked, like a good daughter I am doing what I am told. So now I'll do some catching up and back tracking on various happenings of our lives, adjusting the dates to fit the events. Page down to read on.
