We just came back from our vacation. Well, it was sort of a working vacation: I went to a conference by day and then spent time with our daughter, son in law and our granddaughter in the evening. Then after the conference was over we spent a few more days visiting. As always, it was wonderful to see the kids but the time passed far too quickly. As you can see, I had a wonderful time with Natalie:
Of course, on Father’s Day we had an old fashioned family Bar B Que, with Dad’s (and Grandpa’s) enjoying being with as many of their children and grandchildren as were available. Natalie also modeled her “Sailor Dress” for a while, which was near and dear to my heart:
While we were there we also celebrated her belated birthday and her sandbox got installed in the back yard. It was a real family project: Natalie’s Dad and Uncle Mark did most of the work, while I offered constructive comments and suggestions :)
