30 years ago today

My mom and dad were leaving the house for her scheduled c-section and when they stepped outside my dad took this picture of her and I. Thank you mom and dad for everything, I am who I am because of you... and some strong personality traits. love you so much!

(please note: my mom really didn't want me to post this picture. I told her it was the only one I had from this day, sorry mom! we all love your ice skater hair!)

happy father's day

our family in the 80's. my dad always did the best timed family christmas portraits.


this is my dad on a wave in newport, his happy place.



his first grandchild, bradley (my nephew) holding his hand.

I am one of the lucky ones. My dad is a gifted man who shares his humor and life with all those around him. He has been a dad to so many people, not just my sister and I. I am proud to say I am his daughter. He taught me what a man looks like, in his actions and his words. Thank you dad, we all love you!!

i love my mom.
