happy fathers day this month

dear family
we celebrated father's day a bit early this month as that is when we could get all  you kids together.  I am just
wanting to include a note saying how much I enjoyed honoring dad and our own dad's too. and each of you that are dads, and husbands.
some of dad's good qualities include:
*He feeds people
* he listens to people
* he is good with the grandkids
* he is good with the adults
* he has a great love for the outdoors
* he is all about spending time on hikes and outings with his kids, collectively and individually
* He is kind
* he is a good provider

* he is a good teacher--especially by example

May went too fast

Here we are on the last day of May--by OUR way of thinking -it went by too fast.  Welcome June and all the fun things that lay ahead...reminding you all that the family gathering for dinner will be this sunday.  we're shooting to eat at 1PM  (a change from previous months) as we should probably all be out of church by noon
I am making waffles and bacon..anyone can bring fruit, toppings ...I'll email this as well..also in Jun we are looking for sunshine and fun.  .

went to seminary graduation

I always enjoy the seminary graduations   that is what I got to do..last night--as I watched Christopher Lunt Graduate--afterward we went for Yogurt at the orange leaf--it was a wonderful evening  --congrats  Christopher

The house the Kirk's built

there is a rhyme that is entitled the house that Jack built.  I was thinking a lot about the "house that the kirk's built"  it is fun to make runs on the bike to that part of the park way and be the eyes and ears for the Kirks and send them  updates  via the cell phone or ipod...  its coming along great
