This morning, as I took my family to church, I reflected upon the importance of my role as a father, and just how fortunate I am to be trusted with fathering these four young lives. This afternoon, my immediate family of twelve people, spanning three generations and three households, gathered at a mutually convenient state park for a Father's Day picnic. It was a good day to be both a father and a son.

"Awwwww, pup-peeee"
Benny was drawn to this adorable puppy at the neighboring picnic group. Makes me want to get the boy a puppy... but, with 4 kids, who needs another living thing to care for?

Dylan got promoted from kids seats in the center, to front seat with a paddle!

Looks like a GREAT time!
ReplyDeleteMy work, my wife's work, and my son's work all prevented us from celebrating the day today. We have plans to celebrate it later this week or next when schedules lighten up a bit.
You have a GREAT looking family Jeff! Be very proud!
Happy Father's Day!
