Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my new favorite buddy.

Dad, you have taken the time for me and my family in the past few months in a way that has brought me total joy. Lucia and Gianlorenzo are so comfortable and enamored by you, that my heart swells a little too much to even think about. That barumpity rump of your pick up up my driveway is both expected and delighted in, and I hope it never stops.You have become the man in our lives in a whole new way, and your presence in our mornings in the sun is a newfound familiarity that we all have come to love.

It all started with the chickens:



.














And the time you hosted our Homeschool Scouts Group was just the cherry on top. The event was "Worm Composting: A Visit to Mr. Brewster's Garden"
















The thing is, to know you is to love you. And Dad, I know you better, and I have to say, I love you all the more.

Thank you for taking the time for me, and thank you thank you thank you for taking the time for my kids. We adore you.

Happy Father's Day.

I loved reading this. As a bystander in this so cool venture, I had glimpses of what was going on ~ and tales, many tales from Lucia, of course.
Who knew that a phone call to you, "Would Lucia want a few chicks?" would turn into such a special adventure, heart an soul.
