Happy Fathers Day

I don't know if I have told you this, but this man is my life.  He loves his girls and they adore him.
They took us to the park today with a delicious picnic they put together to celebrate Fathers Day. Mr. serious pants doesn't like to have his picture taken though.
It is sometimes all he can do to hold it together and not smile, but with his iron will he forces his face into submission. No smile here.
But wait...what is this? Is the iron will crumbling? Can he hold it together or will his girls coax a little smile from their stoic and serious dad?
Ahh yes. There is the sweet smile we all love.  The iron will crumbles:>) We love you to the moon and back sweetheart!  My own father was not around, I had a stepdad who was, at best, abusive, so the love that my sweet man shows his girls (and me), is priceless. It means the world to me and to them. I sometimes think that God gave me Earl to show me what real love looks like.  It looks like this.
I thank God for this man every. single. day.

  2. Great pictures! Good thing Earl is wearing shades, though...you know...in case he ever has to go underground...

    Tell him Happy Father's Day from his baby sis, ok?

  7. Daddy's girls can usually get what they want from their daddy. Looks like your girls can too. Sounds like we had the same upbringing. Absent dad, not such a great stepfather. We got lucky finding a great man to be the father of our children. I thank the Lord every single day for that blessing. Mimi

  10. Your post has melted my heart. What a blessing to be on the other side of your camera with those images in your view! Love it! :o) We have similar upbringings, minus the step dad -but throw in a mom who committed suicide when I was almost 4.
    I am so blessed to have the man I do, in my life. I married my best friend! :o)
    Happy Monday!
    Sincerely ~ Tricia

  18. Hi Kathy,
    Somehow we lost track of each other, well probably because I've had too many blog changes...LOL! Anyway, your man has that celebrity look going there for him...he looks like he's famous!

    Hope you are doing well and I can get caught up on what's been going on in your neck of the woods. I had no idea you lived in Michigan. I live in Ohio...where abouts in Michigan?
