Happy Father's Day

Last Father's Day

On Saturday we went to my parents to celebrate Father's Day. It was a great day of hanging outside on the porch and relaxing followed by a delicious dinner.

Daddy's Little Girl

Tony taking my Dad's Harley for a ride.

This girl loves any dip you put in front of her. The problem is no one else can enjoy the dip because she double dips and sticks her whole fist in whatever dip is being served. I will work on this over the summer. By the end of the summer she will know dip etiquette.

Gracie and her Grandfather :)

Checking out Daddy coming back from him motorcycle ride. She didn't recognize him until he took his helmet off.

Grace's present to Grandfather. Those letters spell "I love Grandfather." I tried to get her to place the letters in the correct places but who am I kidding she's 1.

Ron, Dad and Tony enjoying a cigar on the porch.

On Sunday we went to Jimmy and Erica's to celebrate Father's Day. They have a beautiful pool which Grace loved.

Jack, JR, Tony, Andy and Grace

Our little bathing beauty.

I love these pictures of Grace and Andy. When we told him we were expecting a girl he was really mad at us. Seriously.. he couldn't even talk about it. Now they are so cute together. He really loves his first girl cousin and Grace just adores "D."

Daddy pushing Grace on the swing.

Andy was pretending that Grace was swinging into him. She LOVED it. She was giggling so much.

Grace has three boy cousins and her cousins have three boy cousins. So Grace is really outnumbered when we celebrate at Jimmy and Erica's. All the boys were wrestling at the end of the day. Tony is on the bottom, followed by Jimmy and then all the kids. Check our Grace all the way to the right. I wonder how long it will be until she is on the top of that pile :)

I felt so much love from my Father growing up. He was always there to listen when I needed to talk, give advice, share his thoughts with me, or just give me a hug. A father's love is so important in a child's life. I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful father. Grace is so blessed to have such an amazing father. Tony loves his little girl more than anything else. She is the light of his life. And I know she feels his love :) Happy Father's Day to all the great Daddy's out there and the ones up in Heaven watching over all of us. We love you all!
