On Father's Day

toddler legs trip quickly, quickly into the kitchen

his smile exploding in anticipation

she insists that I lift her high

or scrambles up on her wooden chair

peeking out the window

chubby fingers grip the gate

they jostle for position

Daddy's home


 Happy Father's Day!
to all the dads, grandpas, uncles, and men that make us smile all year long,
even if they are only in our memories, like my Pap, this day is still for them
there's something about seeing my dad reading to Abbey and Dylan in the house where I still feel so at home that makes me realize how incredibly blessed we all are

    Thanks!  The sleeping one is especially joyful, since we were away from home, and sleep is a precious commodity at those times :)

    Yes, my parents are about 20 minutes away.  We see them, most weeks, at least once a week!
