Easter At Chucks

Thanks to Chuck for having everyone over at his house for the family Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt for the girls. Here is a picture I took with my iPhone, looks like Melissa is more excited about the Play-Doh more than Ava. :-)

Baby Bella and The Lady Bug Bag

Aunt Nickie bought Bella some new things including a new Lady Bug Bag, Lady Bug Raincoat and some other stuff. I grabbed my camera and grabbed a quick shot of Bella playing with her bag. Check out and see what she likes just as much as the bag itself. Click the HQ button below the video to watch in High Quality. :-)

Blogging From My iPhone

Okay, so I wanted to see if blogging directly from my iPhone to my blog page would actually work. This new feature is on the Blogger page and the instructions were fairly easy to follow.
Heading back to work for a few hours and getting ready to go to Austin this weekend.

Dear Dad Book

Funny how things happen--When my Dad passed away this past year in October, my sister Nickie bought me a book for Christmas, (the one above) Dear Dad: Father, Friend Hero by Bradley Trevor Greive. I flipped through the pages and tossed it into my backpack to read at another time.

The book stayed in my backpack for several months and just when I think I would have some time to get it out and read it, something would happen and I would never get to read the book.

Well today, I came home after playing some racquetball and tossed my backpack off my shoulder and the Dear Dad book popped out of the bag and landed on the floor in front of me. I figured it was time for me to read the book.

The author, Bradley Trevor Greive is from Australia and has written several books, including one entitled Dear Mom. I enjoyed the pictures, all of animals with their babies or shown to be feeding or raising their young ones, and the short expressions that only a father-son can communicate in their own way. Bradley wrote some very true words that made alot of sense.

Of course the book reminded me of many great memories between my Dad and I growing up. I never realized how much my Mom and Dad's life changed once I was born and then my brothers and sisters followed.

I understand now that I was being raised in the shadow of my father's greatness and wisdom as he guided me through childhood. I wonder if my Dad will ever know how grateful I am for all he did, I hope he was as proud of me as I was of him.My Dad, my friend, my hero, my father.

I love you Dad.

p.s. thanks for the book Nickie :-)
