Happy Father's Day!

It is Father's Day and oh we have some mighty fine fathers in our family! As I watch little families who are missing a real father, I see the gigantic whole in a family. Something that can never be replaced by anything else. I am so thankful today for my own dear father Archie. I never felt anything but love and acceptance from him. I imagine him so happy today. Tom was pretty much raised without a Dad but he has so many tender father feelings that have blessed our family. Bret, Jason, Heath, Matt H. I am so grateful for your goodness to your families. You all work so hard and then come home to heavy church responsibilities, yards to take care of, children starving for your time, and wives who need you too. You are amazing! Thank you for who you are and how others feel when they are around you. I love you!!! I am so glad you are the fathers of our grandchildren. I always smile when I think of you! Happy Happy Father's Day! I think this year at Lagona it should be "We Love Our Dads Year!" Maybe some extra tender care of the big men on the beach.

Abbie's Race

Abbie's face before the big field day race. So much excitement!

Abbie's relief when it was over. Abbie you were fabulous. You ran like one of Grandpa's new colts. Wind in your hair. Determination on your face. You must have cut minutes off your time this year. You just keep going. I sure do love you!
