Father's Day 2009

My husband....my hero! Happy Father's Day, Honey!
Ron loved his presents! The new 'Tony Dungy' book, " Uncommon", and biography of Bruce Springsteen, a stuffed bear, new CD/DVD and a kids woodworking book....for him to do with Ronnie. (can you guess who gave him the bear?!) He was even more touched by the cards and letters that were given to him!
Me and my Dad....(my mom is blond and blue eyed) can you tell who I take after?! We almost lost him a few years ago to bypass surgery...we're very blessed to have him with us and healthy!
My sisters and I take any opportunity that we are all together to take "sister" pictures...and we always try and get one of all of us with my mom or dad....my dad thought this was funny!
My tired crew back home from my sister's house for the day! Doesn't he look like a happy dad?! Here are some quotes about Fathers that I liked and wanted to share. Please, scroll down and read the beautiful tribute that Meghan wrote about her dad! ~Sue~
