It's Father's Day and I have four girls, who have given me (and are still giving me) wonderful grandchildren. Eight grandkids on the runway and one in the hangar. Will they manage an even 10? It remains to be seen.

You have good reason to be proud.
ReplyDeleteThey grew up on me, WSF. Not quite fair, really. I miss having them around all the time, under foot and getting into mischief.
DeleteWow, congratulations! An excellent family you've sired there. That one that's hovering over your head in the second picture looks like she's about to play a trick on you - watch out!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of pranking that goes on. We've refined it to a high art. There is a question as to whether the Old sire is still master. I think that I retain the crown.
DeleteBeautiful young lades, even mom. And 10 or 12 grandkids sounds like a good round number. HFD, LL.
ReplyDeleteMore grandkids is better, John.
DeleteHappy Father's Day, LL!
ReplyDeleteThank you, DRJIM
DeleteCongratulations on your family! Grandkids are the best part of getting older.

Grandkids are indeed the very marrow of life, Darrel.
DeleteI might not be a good interpreter but at the first picture I sense kind of a tense father being slightly concerned taking his responsibility very serious and the last one is more relaxed like wow it went fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulate and soon you have your own soccer team in place.
If the girls worked harder at it, I'd have my own (American) football team. They're slacking at their duty. Joking aside, they all had careers that they set aside to be full time stay-at-home mothers. No success in life can compensate for failure in your home.
DeleteA loving family is a true measure of wealth.
ReplyDeleteHappy fathers day to you!
A treasure indeed.
DeleteHappy Father's Day LL.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brig. I made it around the Sun with the kids one more time.
DeleteHope you had a great Father's Day LL!
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, I over-ate. Who could have predicted THAT?
DeleteGreat pics and happy Father's Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope that you and the cadets had a splendid day as well.
DeleteHappy Father's Day LL. Just returned from the lake where I spent some time with two of the kids and three of the grandkids. Shortly after I got home I received a call from the mother of the other 1.8 grandkids. I'm going to go see her this coming weekend. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteYou can't help but have fun when you blend kids with a lake. Water and dirt make mud, a key ingredient in insuring that the grandkids have fun.
DeleteHope you had a good one, Grampa!
ReplyDeleteTwo photos of your beautiful family years apart, but the space between them the mere blink of an eye. Hope your day was a good one.
