It's been 4 years since we lost Dad.
It's starting to feel like it's been so long since we've seen him...talked to him...we all miss him, and getting to share life with him, dearly.
There's much I'd like to talk to him about. Especially now.....
Arranging the flowers was a family affair.
My Dad's friend Carl, spoke at my Dad's memorial. We have since developed a dear friendship. Carl came to the graveside and then joined me and my mom for lunch.
Carl and his wife put together thoughtful gifts for each of the kids that perfectly represented them and their interests and each of them were so happy.
This photo doesn't do this basket justice that was filled with gorgeous cut flowers (with a stargazer lily in the middle ~ it seriously looked like a flower girl basket!) and complete with bulbs for each season for planting for future enjoyment. Kaitlin was thrilled and said,
"It's so beautiful, it's like a garden!"
Not to mention the sweet vintage apron (that had to be immediately worn ~ you can see it in the photo). :)
Our little scientist loved his magnifying glass (which you can't see in this photo) but you can see the delight on his face.
And look at this little man! With his new "army guy" hat and REAL canteen!
Oh. My. He had his camo pants on and was out protecting us in the backyard at Nana's house.
Thank you so much, Jeannie and Carl for your thoughtfulness and the time that you spent preparing these gifts ~ the kids were delighted.
