Father's Day 2009

Our Father’s Day weekend was spent with many precious family and friends. Not only were we able to see all my aunts (my mom’s sisters) together again, but also had the opportunity to be reacquainted with a long lost cousin. Family and friends are certainly some of the greatest gifts from God and I cherish the time I can spend with mine.

Our family with my dad, Jim. My mom was still on her family vacation with her parents and sisters.

Steve and I with Grandpa Helms. This guy has more fun than several people half his age put together do.

You know this is true love! Sarana and Kaitlyn saved up their “Paw Dollars” from Build-A-Bear workshop in order to buy Steven a bear for Father’s Day. The newest member of the McDaniel clan is a chocolate colored teddy named, Rev. Andrew. Rev. Andrew is dressed in a black suit, cool tie, and dress shoes to make him look very close to Steve. Not that the girls needed to store up brownie points with their dad anyway but this gesture certainly secured their every wish for a long time to come. J


Of course no Father’s Day would be complete without thinking of some significant father figures in our lives that have passed on. We owe Grandpa Tredway, Grandpa Jim, Grandpa Bill, and Grandpa McDaniel a huge thanks for being such influential people in our lives.
