Fathers Day 2008

Always a special day and even moreso today, celebrating Fathers Day with Evan, who is growing up into a handsome and good boy and Ella, who is just an beautiful little girl with an incredible spirit. Thanks God for the blessings bestowed on me with my two little ones and a wonderful wife, Laura, who we often refer to as the glue of the family. The month started out slowly with Evan graduating to High School (no formal ceremony, hence no pictures, but we are so proud of Evan). We did get a chance to go to an end of year party with his community where Ella tried a hot dog (she liked the ketchup - we just have to work on that eating style). Moving on into the month, Ella took quite a fall and was badly bruised around her eye, she has now healed nicely from that spill which occured while watching her brother skateboard (perhaps trying to imitate him!). Memorial Day came around and we had a BBQ here in our driveway with our new grill and it was a success (my definition being noone got sick!). A cute pic of Ella and Addison below, followed by Ella, au naturale, helping in the clean up effort. Evan, soon afterward, left for Lutheridge Sleep Away Camp and had a wonderful time. Pictured with Mom, Dad and Ella right before leaving, Evan came home wiser and a lot more proficient at using the Text Message feature of his cell phone (yes Dad upgraded to the unlimited plan - ugh!!!) Then finally Mom accompanied Ella to Minnesota in the beginning of June where Ella had a wonderful time watching the Morton girls dance and kissing, yes kissing, Preston - I have the proof below. Anyhow, the trip was a blast I am told. I, for one, am glad to have everyone home and enjoying the summer - though right now Evan is up in NY with Jordan on an incredible Trip to experience the Big Apple (thanks Grandma and Grandpa!) - I'll have some of that next month. Turks & Caicos, Destin and NY trips planned later in the year - Bye everyone.
