Happy Birthday Pappy!




Today is my dad's (Pappy) birthday! I thought I'd take a moment to share Lauryn's perspective of her Pappy, in her own words:

"I love how he gives me chocolate".
(Every time we visit my parents, he has chocolate for her like Hershey Kisses or M&M's. She also gets a piece of chocolate when we leave. Spoiled much!?)

"He has white hair and he goes way up to the fan."
(That's her way of saying he's completely grey and about 12 feet tall...in her eyes.)

"He likes to wear boy clothes like stripes shirts and shorts."

"He wears plain glasses."

"He likes to eat lettuce and chocolate chip ice cream."

"He acts a little bit silly."
(This one is is very true, if not a huge understatement . Any bit of wit I might posess I got from my dad!)

The above pictures are some of my favorites of the girls as babies with their Pappy.

Happy 82nd birthday Dad! :)

We love you!

It's beyond weird to hear you and Lindsey call my dad by his first name!
