Father’s Day, 2008
Another Father’s Day has come to our house. This is Jimmy’s 11th Father’s Day. The other day, he remarked on how he wishes he were a better father, and I assured him that he’s an awesome father but that I think that ALL parents wish they did a better job. However, considering how many women out there are raising their child(ren)alone because the fathers are deadbeats, jerks, etc., I think me, my mom and my sister managed to find ourselves some really awesome baby daddies.
Admittedly, it took my mom a couple of times. But luckily for my sister & I, we have somehow managed to learn from her mistakes and find ourselves some pretty good guys to have babies with. They both, while neither perfect, WORSHIP their children and would do anything for them. They’d kill for them. They’d starve for them. They’d go without for them. That says ALOT these days. It really does.
So, to my Daddy, who had a crappy role model to learn from, thank you so much for being the DAD that you are, instead of what you could have been. To my honey, thank you for being the DAD that you are, instead of what you could have been. To my brother-in-law, the newest daddy, thank YOU for being the dad to those awesomest nephews of mine. You all ROCK 
Here’s one of the gifts we gave jimmy for Father’s Day today.
The only photo that Jimmy has in his office of his 3 kids is from the day that Zachary was born LOL I thought it was time to remedy that (and assuming he has an office in 2 weeks LOL) and just thought that these 3 photos of the kids were the best lately. Gotta love WalMart!
Along with the photo, we gave him a 1g flash drive, some chocolate covered peanut butter ritz cookies from the Farmer’s Market, and some chocolate covered pretzels, also from the farmer’s market. Also, some t-shirts and shorts and a cd cleaner/resurfacer
It’s rough, having his birthday & Father’s Day a week apart, but I think we did ok this year.
