Happy Father's Day

To all the great dads, grandpas, stepdads and surrogate dads I know.  And a special shout out to the dad in our house, Mr. Tennis.  He not only provided a great life for our kids growing up, but he continues to support and advise them as they adventure into the unknown of adulthood.

We all have many hats we wear as we move through life. Of all the hats I wear the one I cherish most is that of Dad. Being a Dad reveals the true meaning of life.

I love the comment above. And even though I don't know Alan, those words say a lot about the kind of guy he must be. I loved all the pictures, and have a wonderful Father's Day with your guy!

Take care, Sue

Good job on puting words and pictures together to show a great and proud Dad.

I somehow missed this entry many weeks ago. Just wanted to chime in and say, DAD IS DA MAN. Seriously, it is great to have you out here.
