We lost Duey's dad a few years ago on Father's Day. I couldn't have asked for a father-in-law to be anymore wonderful to me! I feel so grateful to have been so loved, cared about, and close to him. There are so many goofy, fun, serious, and special memories. Duey and I are so thankful for the years we lived so close, and still miss him every day.

Slumber Party!!:)

So Friday we just had a relaxing day

I had a stack of leaf bowls on the table and I got a kick out of my dad just setting the plate of sandwiches for lunch right on top of them. It's a lot funnier when you are really tired!

Charlie kept trying to kiss Duey while he was laying the floor, or he'd curl up on the padding where Duey needed to lay the next row:)

I need to take more pics now that I have the drawers back in. I went thru everything before I put it back into our bedroom, so it sat like this for a few days till I had some time off from work.
