A Day For Quotes ~Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the great Dads out there!  I have been very fortunate in my life to have had a wonderful Dad of my own, who passed away just over 2 years ago.  I also have the joy of watching my own husband be a wonderful Father to our 2 children.  Happy Father’s Day honey!

Take Me Back Tuesday ~May

May will always and forever remind me of babies! I had a baby born in May, and a baby born in April. So May was when I had Maternity Leave from my job to stay home and learn how to take care of a baby. I got to do this twice. I guess that I learned pretty good judging by how the kiddo’s are today!!!

This one is when my cutie bug was about 3 days old. So take me back to May 12, 2006. The proud big sister was just barely 2.

This is my sweet Angel when she was about 5 weeks old, May of 2004. This picture has always been one of my favorites, because the hand you see is Dad’s. Always supporting her.

A Day With Two

“How do you play along? We all have tons of photos from the days before the digital camera. I figure if I just scan a few each week, eventually I will get them all safely into my computer. But you don't need a scanner to participate! - Just find a photo that takes you back to another time. Every week you can come back here and share photos that "take you back." Maybe it is the bad hair we all had in the 80's, the bell-bottoms you swore were so hip in the 70's, or your favorite pictures of your kids! If you decide to participate, sign the Linky below and I promise to head on over and spread some comment love your way!”

This post will be proudly featured at Meme's the Word! On Saturday! Jump over to Lemon Drop Pie to see what that is all about!!
