So Father's day just passed and I was thinking of all the "Dad's" in my life. First my Dad, well he was always Daddy, even as an adult. He loved me unconditionally and sacrificed everything to raise his kids. I can't wait to see him again! Then there is the Dad of my children. I am so grateful for him and that he had always supported me in my role as a mother. He sometimes barks, but like the big protective family dog, would sacrifice his life for those he loves. He puts up with me and all my shortcomings. I love him so much. Then there are the Dad's of my grandchildren. Since all of them are my sons I have seen them grow and mature. It is so fulfilling to see my sons such tender and responsible dads. They even change diapers, now they did not learn that from their Dad. But the did learn many of things from the dear old Dad.
And last, but not least my Heavenly Father, how grateful I am for a knowledge of a loving, living Heavenly Dad. Some one who loves so unconditionally so fully. I know he knows and loves me, little ole me, with all my faults and everything. I am truly blessed by all the Dad's in my life!!

Last week the California Supreme Court upheld the decision of the people in California to state that marriage is between a man and a women!! The decision was 6-1! What a victory! This last week our family got together to bless our newest member Annalisa. She is so beautiful and it was great to get most of us together. Danny and Shanda could not make it and of course Jarrett. I love seeing the kids, and being around them and listening to the funny things the say. There is true joy in family! I love my husband and children so much I draw such energy and love from them. Here are a few pictures from the last week.
