my father’s birthday was a couple of days ago.. so after spending some quality time with him, i thought i must dedicate a post.  he is a very loving man.. funny and unique…  he is an old-fashioned hippie who travels around buying and selling antiques… his home, inside and out, is full of so many neat, incredible treasures of his.. it is always an amazing time to go and just admire everything…his land is beautiful, away from everyone and everything, right next to the lake.. i have never been in need of anything in my life because of  my father.  he always makes sure we are okay…
happy birthday daddy! we love you so much!!

family time…

another terrific day…

after a very long, but amazing, day of mommy running errands, douglas taking meleia for ice cream and buying her a new wagon, making an incredible dinner on the grill and having a “picnic” on the living room floor with meleia… we went to craig’s to hang out for awhile.. then to come home to hanging the new curtains and my baby helping me clean up the messy kitchen
i am very, very lucky.
