Congratulations on a great year! I think it's funny that you have theatrical events mixed in with family. Here's to another good one.
By the way, you missed one of the important events, the purchase of a new computer.
You're absolutely right, Dave. How could I forget something like that? I've simply got to get my priorities straight.
As to the theatrical events, you have to remember that theatre productions and family life went hand in hand in our family. Managed to get all three of our daughters in shows over the years.
Oh my gosh, what a fabulous post! That last picture of you and Mom is, I think, the best picture I've ever seen of the two of you. I want an 8 x 10 color glossy to frame and display in my own home. What an eventful, wonderful year!
What a great 2008! So glad we could share a few of these moments with you. You guys are awesome!
I am also in love with that picture of you and grandma at the end! What a great post.
Oh dad, your post is beautiful! It's one of those "keepers" that I'll go back to time and time again if I need to get a nudge of happiness. And I second Denny's motion - I want an 8 x 10 glossy too!
Love you!
Barb
This is great, Grandpa! Love all the pictures.
