Happy Father's Day, Dads!
Happy Father’s Day to all Dads out there!
At 15 months, Tristan seems to think just about everything is a phone. I think maybe he was trying to call his great-grandpa when he picked up this tape measure.
Unfortunately, I’m a little slow in mailing my dad’s gift. Actually, I had one thought in mind and it grew, if you know what I mean. So it’s not quite done, but I’ll get it out in the next few days and in the mean time I thought I would share a few of the photos he will get to enjoy once he gets it.
I think this image and the following ones will really touch my dad’s heart. We are training up the little booger to help his Grandpa pick up sticks. My parents have several acres and I swear that every time I call they are out, or have been out, picking up sticks.
See the snow in the background there? Tristan was helping us pick up sticks in April, when we was only 13 months old. Such a big little man!
He’s concentrating so hard!
But he looks happy, doesn’t he? At the moment I took these I knew I would be using them for my dad’s Father’s Day. Perfect!
Maybe he’ll be happy to know we’re keeping him in practice.
He even walks the dog willingly.
And takes him down to check on the stick pile.
And even though we moved away from Missouri, we’re still raising him to be a barefooted hillbilly of the Ozarks. Grandpa will be proud for sure.
This last one is special just for Dennis. Tristan and PaPaw always “snort” at each other and I caught his snort face. It’s their little bonding thing, and I don’t interfere.
Happy Father’s Day Dad and Dennis!
Llisa, I so enjoy your blog! I love the photos; you should come back to my
blog, and grab that link to make up your own slide show - it would be
terrific!
Oh he is way cute Lisa. I especially love the picture of him walking the
dog! How precious! You are so lucky!
You are so very lucky to have your grandson living nearby. We miss our
little "BP", something terrible. When she came to visit I took over 400
pictures and look at them daily. We won't see her again until August.
What beautiful photos. I love the first one of your little guy walking the
dog. The posture and body language is fantastic.
Those are some doggone cute pictures! Can I ask what lens you use?
Tristan is just adorable. I love that little "snort face" that you
captured.
I called my granddad PaPaw too! My parents and grandparents were from West
Virginia. Maybe it is a mountain thing!
Oh Lisa, Tristan is just such a beautiful beautiful boy. Those pictures
just warmed my heart. SO lovely.
June, I believe all of those were taken with the lens that came with my
40D, a 28-135mm IS USM Canon lens. I know most of them were just can't
remember positively about the older ones.
My kids always did that little snort thing, too. I'm not sure where they
learned it. I think maybe it is just one of those things that little kids
do instinctively. It sure is cute, though.
The pics of your grandson are So cute. I especially love the walking the
dog ones....guess I'm a little partial to that!!! LOL And the snorting was
is precious!
