Jeff celebrates his first Father's Day!

Little Nicholas and his 2-year-old friend, Tanner. Tanner was thrilled to hold Nicholas last Saturday when we went to his house for dinner.
Jeff's solution to skyrocketing gas prices...I called it vintage...until I found out it was built in 1979 (and I was born in 1980), therefore, not so vintage!
Mommy and Nicholas at the Father's Day BBQ at my folks' place. What a beautiful afternoon!
Our family of three in the backyard.
My brother, Eric, Jeff holding Nicholas, and my dad...such handsome fellas!

For Jeff's first Father's Day Nicholas and I found a poem that we thought was perfect for him:

For My Daddy

"Walk a little slower Daddy,"
said a child so small,
"I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true,
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."

Jeff loved the poem and the khaki shorts Nicholas picked out for him. It was a great Father's Day!
