Father's Day 2011

This Dad is so much fun.



He works hard  to provide for his family.

He plays hard with his kids and he makes them laugh, a lot.

He washes dishes and folds clothes and cooks and cleans bathrooms.

He is appreciative of things that we do for him.

He goes out of his way to make life better for people around him.

He makes us all feel happy.



We had a great day celebrating him!

Father's Day 2009

This weekend my dad came to visit to attend a family reunion (more on that later) and we finally gave him the gift for Father's Day that we've been working on for quite awhile.... well, that Ryan's been working on.



When we were in Paris we found the apartment that my dad lived in as a missionary... and Ryan photographed it with his wide angle lens. He created this beautiful canvas print of the building.

My dad told us that each morning they would smell the deliciousness of the breads and pastries baking from the patisserie below... but they were too poor to buy anything, so they'd make their own pancakes which inevitably turned out too hard to eat... so they'd throw the pancakes out their second story window like frisbees. Oh, the glory of missionary life.

Before we gave him this gift, we loved it. After he opened it and we saw that he loved it too, we loved it even more. Happy Father's Day (only a month late)!

**What's one of the most memorable gifts you've given?
