Today is my dad's 60th birthday. I have to say, 60 sure doesn't look like it used to. My dad is such a "young" man and is actually more active than I am, although I hate to admit it. The girls and I drove up to Virginia yesterday to surprise G-Daddy for his birthday. They have had such a good time celebrating their G-Daddy's special day. Emma-Caroline even put her recently acquired baking skills to good use and helped Mimi bake G-Daddy's favorite dessert, lemon meringue pie. My dad is the best kind of dad there is. I feel so blessed to have him as my father and I am so happy too that the girls have such a wonderful G-Daddy to grow up with. We love our G-Daddy. Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you!

Emma-Caroline helped Mimi bake a delicious pie for G-Daddy's birthday. She pricked the pie crust, squeezed the lemons, mixed the pie filling, baked the pie and meringue, and topped it with lemon zest. She is becoming quite the baker. Emma-Caroline also helped set the table for G-Daddy's special dinner. These pictures are in reverse order of her baking adventure. She was so pleased to be able to help Mimi prepare such a special dessert for G-Daddy.
Zesting!

Snuggling close to a very special G-Daddy.

Happy Birthday Joey!!! Gran-paw looks so young, he hasn't changed at all since I have known him, and many years at that!!! All the girls look like they are all having a great time celebrating. Thanks for sharing the great day with us out here in computer land.
P. S. The lemon meringue pie looks so good
Love always,
