Happy Birthday Bom-pa!




Today iy my good ol' dad's birthday or, as Easton calls him, Bom-pa. He is 46 or 47 - I can't remember. I'm at my sister's so I don't really have that many pictures of him on hand. My dad is the greatest because he is the hardest working man you'll ever meet. And he can beat up everyone else's dad. He loves his children, and I think even more than that he loves his grandkids (don't all grandparents?). Easton has a special place in Grandpa's heart, and my dad has called to talk to him on the phone since Easton could make gurgling noises. He dreams of the day when he and Easton can go on overnight fishing trips.


My dad still talks baby talk to me and my sister (that doesn't mean that he can't beat up your dad), and he has the biggest and softest heart despite his rough and sometimes intimidating exterior. We all love him so much and are so grateful for the way the he has literally broken his back on our behalf. Happy birthday to the greatest dad and grandpa in the world! We all love you!

Aw, that's so sweet! I've met your dad, and he is a great man! You girls are lucky.

I love my dad, but I'm pretty sure your dad could take him in a fight :).
