Dad's Day Pictures & Person of the Week

Hello, friends!

I didn't have time to post pictures before we left for the beach from our wonderful Dad's Day , so here are a few of my favorites. Big Poppa Barry was at the beach on Dad's Day, so that is why pictures of him are not included in the montage!



The boys served Barry breakfast in bed, but he opted to join us on the deck for waffles and bacon! (True suggested we all eat in my bed but I don't really like greasy, crumby sheets!)

This was part of my Dad's present from me...he loves cherry pie and I made his with a special message!

I don't know what the secret was, but I loved getting the picture of the following moment!

This is my nephew, Neal, and my Papa.

World's Greatest Dad

Cole, Neal, and Super Uncle Matt! There should be an Uncle's Day! I think I'll give him one... Now, the Person of the Week is very special to me for many reasons. First of all, if my son had come to me and said I am marrying a divorcee with three children, I would have hit him over the head with a frying pan or some other nearby object. Not only did she not do that, she immediately welcomed me with open arms, and has never made me feel like I had anything to prove. She has treated me like a daughter, and treated the boys as if they were Barry's own natural children.

Pam is a very intelligent person who always has good ideas to share. She is a faithful Christian and serves the Lord through her music. I remember her complimenting my singing voice long ago, long before Barry and I were a couple. However, Pam has a gift from God in her own voice; it is clear as a bell and powerful. I was shocked when I heard her Christmas church concert- her solo made me cry! (I have a CD from her choir, if you want proof!)

If you know Barry, you know that a man that wonderful does not burst spontaneously on the scene. Men like that are MADE with care by parents who raise them right. Pam (and Barry, Sr.) definitely raised a fine man who takes excellent care of our family. Thanks, Pam!

I love my Mother-In-Law!
