Daddy’s Home!

Yesterday after David got home from his fishing trip, we celebrated his belated birthday by opening presents, going out to lunch and a game of putt-putt.

Ashley (age 11) did incredibly well and actually made FIVE hole in ones. As we were leaving she asked her dad,

“Is there a prize for the one who made the most hole-in-ones?”

That prompted a quick response from Jonathan (age 8):

“Is there a prize for the one with the most humility?”

What a great picture! They all look so happy to be home! I'm surprised I didn't see a picture of you relaxing, eating Bon-Bons with your feet soaking! You deserve it!!! Have a great day!

Glad for you, too, that Dave is home and you guys had a good day celebrating...

THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting together the shower!!! IT was absolutely perfect!

Ashley is so beautiful! After seeing the fam photo from ten years ago (the previous fishing trip) I can see how much she looks like you! David is going to have to build a tower and lock her in it very soon :)

I can't say it enough - your kids are all so cute. Glad David made it home. I'm sure he was MISSED!

Love the story! I'm sure everyone got a good laugh out of that one! So glad your hubby is home. There's nothing quite like having daddy around.

That is too funny!

I read your last couple of posts. I remember hearing stories of those camping trips...I thought my Zambia roughing it trip for 4 days was rough but I'd opt for it over the Canada trip. :-)
