A pictorial tribute to Dad on Father's Day

Happy Father's Day, Dad! Since you gave me a hard time about not posting enough, I thought I'd get back at you by posting pictures of you! However, in all seriousness, we really appreciate how much effort you have put in to 'be there' for us and our children throughout our lives. We are so fortunate to have so many opportunities to rub shoulders with such a great man during our time on this earth. We are not nearly the photographers that Kristi is, but here are a few of the fun pictures we've captured over the last several years when you've been there for us.
We love you!

The twins at preschool 'graduation'. We're certain you would have been there if you were here! They still pray everyday for your safe return.

Thank you for the tribute. The only problem is, I'm aging--less hair and more wrinkles! Thanks for the cute picture of the twins. They are growing up. We'll be happy to be home and spend time with them.
Sorry I gave you such a hard time--but it was to get even with you for the hard time you gave me when you were growing up. (Just kidding--you really didn't give us much of a hard time.)

Dad

I'm so glad to see you posted on the blog! I loved all the pictures-that was a nice tribute to Dad. By the way, I'm not a photographer- I just want to be one.
