pumpkin patch and a birthday.

The pumpkin patch!  One of my favorite traditions. This year, we went on Papa's (my dad's) birthday with my parents and my Gramma who was in town visiting. I was totally lazy and forgetful about pulling out the camera, but did at least get one of Augs and and the birthday boy.


I'm grateful for my dad and his love for and faithfulness to our family. He is a wonderful Papa, too, (a best friend of both Augie and Violet's), and this year, I've come to appreciate my dad as a running partner. He'll come with me on a spur-of-the-moment invite and run 3 miles, easy, no problemo, barely breaking a sweat. What a cool dad, huh?


Happy birthday, Dad. I love you! So glad you live close as you are a special part of our lives.
