Grace and I are so lucky to have my dad so close by for her to celebrate Father's Day with in a meaningful way. I know it will get harder each year as Grace becomes more and more aware of the fact that we are a two person family, just her and I, but for now I am thankful to both my dad and a good friend Brian, as well as my brother, brother in laws and her older cousins who give her so many positive male role models she needs to grow up into a well rounded person.
Her babysitter was so kind as well, helping make a special gift and card for Grandpa, very thoughtful of her!
Here are a few pics from yesterday's festivities!
ps. Still no computer at home, I will try to catch up once I have a new computer this summer. I have lots of posts ready to go!

| Grace and I spent some time over the last week taking pictures to make a gift for Grandpa. She calls him Poppa, not because that's what we call Grandpas in our family but because she can't quite say Grandpa yet. Thank Goodness, as it was challenging enough getting her to pose for these five letters!!! It's a bit difficult to see, but each one is taken in a place that either Grandpa or Grace enjoys - her slide, her car, the flower garden, the red chair that Grandpa made for our garden. |

| Grace made a special rock for Grandpa at daycare. She painted it and wrote "Grandpa rocks!" on it. Here she is explaining the whole process to Grandpa!!LOL |

The K-man would have nothing to do with picture taking yesterday, not even with his dad! See below!!LOL |

| HUGS! <3 |

| Finally a great picture of K-man and Grandpa, except for Grace photo-bombing!!!!! |

| Grace has nose kisses for all the people she loves. There is no question she is "Grandpa's girl!" |
