Thankful Day 12

Today I am thankful for my dad. AKA Papa! Its amazing to me how our relationship has changed and evolved over the years. More specifically during the past 2-3 years. We don’t always agree… but for the most part we have agreed to disagree. I really feel that he shows me unconditional love, although sometimes in the moment it has seemed to be conditional. I now can look back and know he always acted out of love.

Our family has had some BIG changes these past three years some good (birth of Katy and Patrick) some not so good ( Katy’s heart condition and my parents unexpected (to me anyway) divorce.

I love how much my dad ADORES my kids, and how much K & P adore him right back. Its fun to watch their relationship form and blossom.

I am thankful that I know no matter what my dad would be there for all 4 of us and it’s a comfort to me.

Happy Birthday Papa!

Today we celebrated my dad’s Papa’s birthday! We went to his house for dinner, cake and presents!!!

It was a great day to celebrate what a great dad and Papa my dad is! It is so neat to watch him interact with my kids. Kate loves her papa! (as does Patrick, its just harder for him to show it!)

Circus Fun

We were very excited to get tickets to the circus from my friend! Our seats were great and the kids as well as the adults all had a great time! It truly is the greatest show on earth!

I can't help but feel like I am cheating with these little bullet points and photo collages. I suppose its better then nothing! Which is what you would be getting if I had to write a blog entry for the last 5 months!!! Maybe someday, it will catch up and you will know what I am so busy doing!! I am back dating all this, you know so its less obvious. I have decided that if it is a pretty big event, I will be posting a seperate post.
