Happy Father's Day

As I've mentioned before last year wasn't the easiest for my family. My mom went into the hospital (with an undetermined illness) a couple of weeks before my Dad went in to have thyroid cancer surgery. He spent most of the year in the hospital either for his own issues, or trying to take care of my mom.
He has been a fine example of courage and determination. Even when things seemed to be at their worst, my Dad never gave up. It was not easy. My Dad can do hard things.

Thanks Dad, for your faith and perseverance. Thanks for doing all you could do. Thanks for being an example of love for all of us.

And to my husband, thanks for loving our kids so fiercely.

Happy Father's Day!

More On Mothers

This post/poem over at Soule Mama is so beautiful I had to pass it along...

Look Who's 4!

The day before her birthday we were at Kimmy's grad and Nana had a birthday cake surprise. YUM. And fun with cousins and family.

Then the next day was a quiet celebration with us and Auntie Shi Shi. Babe requested cheesy noodles (KD) for dinner and we had banana bread cake/muffins with nutella and strawberries on top. As usual, she really preferred her ice cream, but who can complain?

Happy Birthday Babe!
