April Birthday Wishes

Needless to say, I'm a little behind on my birthday wishes.

I owe two very important people in my life "Happy Birthday Blogs". : )

Happy Birthday to Sara (her birthday was on April 3rd) and to Dad (his birthday was yesterday, April 27th)!! : )

sara23.jpgSara is my little sister. (Yes, even though she might be as tall as me, she'll always be my little sister.) She is also one of my closest friends and was throughout our entire childhoods. She is also the best dance teacher assistant I've ever had and one of the hardest workers I've ever known.

Sara is also a person of many nicknames. Some call her "Sara Belle" others call her "Sara Yellen" and Ryan often calls her "Bear" or "Sar-Bear". But, my favorite nickname for her was given to her by our nice, Reese. She calls her "Ra-Ra".

So, Happy Birthday, Sara! : ) I'm sorry it's so late! I hope this year is one of the best yet! : )

I love you!

dad57.jpgMy dad is the father of four girls. It takes a very special kind of person to be able to stay sane in a house with five women! He helped tie our ribbons in our hair, triumphed through us using him as a human jungle gym, and cheered us all on at our pom and dance competitions.

He's also one of the most patient people I've ever known. (I guess that comes with the territory of being the father of four girls, though.)

I love remembering "strong arms", "hot burning coals", and the hugging contests that he and I used to have every night when I was little. : )

Our Dad also lights up when our niece calls him "Papa" and I can't wait to see her enjoy his silly songs and dances as much as we did!

I love you, Dad! : ) I hope your birthday was wonderful! xoxo

There are a few links on this blog and moblog that highlight both Dad and Sara including some fun moblog photos from Dad's birthday dinner at the Pasta House last night! : ) Enjoy!

I'm proud to be the father of four girls! Particularly when they are the four best of their generation. When you can spend birthday dinner as the guest of two out of four, it's a special night. Thanks again.
Love,
Dad
