I can never think of anything catchy to title my posts. I guess it shouldn't bother me to bad, but it does. Just being stupid I guess. I sat down and colored with the twins tonight. I found myself thinking that I should, (I really like to color anyway. I've mine own 96 count box of crayons and my own Handy Manny coloring book) just so they would be happy and hopefully have good memories of their dumb old dad. Then I started wondering if my dad ever did things like that. I'm sure he did. I have a terrible memory. Emily has memories of the day she was born, I swear! I can't remember what I cooked for dinner tonight!
I love my old man! He called me today. That might not sound to special, but usually he only calls to report bad or sad news. I was immediately on edge. He called to help me with a service call I had asked him about the other day. That was relieving. I like to talk to him. We don't talk to often cuz' neither of us are big phone chatters (unlike Jeff) anyway. My dad has always been a good example to me. I don't think I know of a harder working guy. He always pushed me to be and do my best, whether it was athletics, school, or church. He had a way of making me(one way or another, haha)want to do the right thing. I love, and miss being around my dad. Getting older, does help me remember one thing, all the things I used to take for granted.

I thought your title was catchy - at least catchy enough for me to read it. I'm sorry you miss your dad, but we are so thrilled that you guys are here.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder...I'm glad you could have a good chat with your dad. I think Emily and I's relationship is so much stronger when we don't live right by each other, strange how that works, huh? I'm glad I'm not the only one who really enjoys coloring, Savannah's always like, Mom, I'm done, and I'm like, wait, let's keep coloring! :)
I think I have you beat at the non catchy titles thing. I notice as I get older how great our parents were and still are. I think that we all took advantage when we were younger. I realized how good we had it when I met Jamey and his family. They really did the best they could and there best was alot better than most. We were lucky to have them.
It is funny how as we get older we do realize how much we took our parents for granted. I too often think of how lucky I am to have such wonderful parnets and how much I took them for granted growing up. We have such a good relationship now though.
Dear Jer,

Mom
