oh happy day

This first week of school is draining me of energy {not to mention the yucky crud my beloved toddler has passed on}. However, energy or not, I need to blog about a very important event:  my daddy’s birthday!


My dad is without a doubt amazing.  He is funny and smart, selfless and generous. He’s also quite feisty {which could explain my attitude problem}. 


If it’s even possible, I think his qualities as a grandfather surpass those of father.

Reese and Rice are the best of friends, with is just fine with me. This boy loves his Buck.

Today, Buck turns 54.  Hard to believe he came into this world weighing barely three pounds. 


{* Not because he's big just because he was a kind of a miracle baby!}

We celebrated his birthday a little early so we could all be together.  He finally got the bag he’s always wanted, and we indulged in some super chocolaty German Chocolate cake. 

Happy Birthday, Daddy Buck!  We love you to pieces.  The whole menagerie of us:: me, Lofton, Little Man, Jake, Raleigh, Alvin, and Henry.
