My Dad, before he passed away, would call me on this day to wish me a Happy Father's Day. He would then call my wife and wish her Happy Mother's Day. The first year he called me on this day with his father's day wishes I didn't get it. He had to explain to me that it was the anniversary of the day I first became a father.
Maxfield is 5 today.

From this....

....to this. All in the blink of an eye.
We are having about ten, 4 and 5-year-old kids, over today, to play games and eat lots of sugar to help me celebrate Father's Day.
Happy Birthday Max!
ReplyDeleteSuch a special day for a special boy.

Wow. I was worried about Viper Syndrome on Max. I am so relieved to find that he only has two nipples.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! And good luck to the parents.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Max! Five is such a cool age.

Happy Birthday, Max! It gives me great pleasure, as I've said before, to see my children as parents! Go to it, Bill! have fun at that "kid's" party. I know you will. You are still a kid at heart! I will be arriving for the "grown-up's" party in the evening. You can tell me all the stories then. I love being a grandmother! Enjoy the day, Max!
