Happy Father's Day!

 Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there!  I am pretty sure that I have some of the best in my life.

First of all, I'll start with Carl: 

He has always been the best dad to our babies (yes, at 16, 19, and 21, they are still our babies!).  From diapers to sleepless nights, doing girls hair and teaching T to shave and hunt, he has been the best! We love him and appreciate all he does for our family.  Oh, and I know he will be the best Pappy to Miss Wren also!






Next, my dad:

For as long as I can remember I have been a daddy's girl.  After his big health scare in October, I am especially glad to still have him here.  He is a great spiritual leader for our family. We always joke about him being full of words, but we really do appreciate him and all of his wisdom :)  You better bet that we will pass on his "words of wisdom" for years to come! He is also a great Pop to all of his grandkids.  




And lastly, my papa:  

This man will be 94 years old in August!  He has always been a hard worker (carpentry) and he loves having all of his family together.  God and church have always been important to him and if his health allowed him to, he would still be there in his pew every Sunday and Wednesday.  I am thankful that my kids have been able to enjoy him and get to know him so well.  He is not-so-secretly hoping that Wren will make her appearance on his birthday :)

I would also like to say Happy Father's Day to Carl's step-dad, TR:
He is the only "father-in-law" I have ever known.  Carl's dad died when he was just 9 and his mom married a little while after.  If it weren't for TR (being from my area), we would have never met! He has always been a great step-dad to Carl and has taught him many things through the years. 

TR and Carl's mom, Carolyn

And lastly, to Carl's Dad in Heaven:
I often wonder what my kids would have called him.  Carl talks about his dad often and I know he was a great dad while he was alive.  I see a lot of similarities between them in photos.  

This silliness in the picture reminds me of Carl!

"The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him."
 Proverbs 20:7

Much, Love,
Beth

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
