Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's day to Shawn and Grandpa David!  Yes, we celebrated our day with an afternoon BBQ and Sparkler fun along with a dedication in memory of Papa Jim.  Shawn posted a plaque on the playground that he and Papa Jim worked so hard on for SO MANY weekends and  it is now officially called "Papa Jim's Playset".  The kids all remember their daddy and grandpa out there trying to put together what seemed like a million screws and random wood pieces to make what we kept telling them was to be playground.  It took a long time but it was so worth the wait! 

This picture puts meaning to "I will be there in a flash".
 
Your presence we miss
Your memories we treasure
Loving you always
Forgetting you never

We miss you Papa Jim
Shawn impressed me with a 7 mile run and Myles and Molly joined me in racing some water out to him at the half way mark.  It was fun to find him on the running route that he insisted he share with me just in case he was not home within the hour!  Thank goodness he made it home!  He has signed up for a 10 mile road race to be completed this July.  It is called the "Blessing of the Fleet" but I wonder if it should be called, "God Bless Shawn's feet". 

PS The kids played their last baseball game Saturday and got their trophies!!  What a great season.
Myles and Molly are 1st and 2nd kids in yellow.
We love our Coach daddy!
