Happy Father's Day!

The shirt for Grandpa said, "property of my Grandkids" He was on the phone with Todd's sister at the time we were leaving -

We had a great day today. Actually we also were thinking about the fact that 2 years ago yesterday Todd had his accident and we are so grateful that he is still with us! That whole thing really changed our perspective on life and how thankful we are that we are an eternal family. We really have been closer as a couple and a family since then and the experience definately made us stronger. Enjoy each moment!


Backing up a bit --- After going to the temple yesterday we hung out as a family and saw Kung Fu Panda together. I must be superstitious because I wanted things safe and all of us together.


Today we let Todd sleep in, made his breakfast and had decorated the house for the occasion. He had bought himself several practical gifts -camping gear, new weed whacker so there wernt any surprises other than a cool Dad fishing t shirt - Dad - my best fishing buddy. After church we went to see Todd's folks and have dinner there and visit. It was nice.

Sounds like you guys had a great day!! And how wonderful that you recognize the blessings of being a forever family - especially after Todd's accident!

I wish we could have been there for the temple activity yesterday! It looks like it was a wonderful day!! And gorgeous weather!

What a nice day it is good to be reminded of how precious life really is! I'm glad it was a less eventful Father's Day!
